Review of Robinson’s “Vibrating Strings”
Taking on a Jimi Hendrix cover is an ambitious goal for any guitarist, for the weight of mythology as much as the intimidation of skill. So it says something about the character (and chutzpah) of guitarist Jimmy Robinson that on his solo debut, he cheerfully takes on the legacy of the psychedelic shredder with a cover of 'The Wind Cries Mary," and makes it his own, with lovely, low and mournful horns (courtesy of Bonerama) and a drawn-out starkness that turns the textured, emotional track into a deconstructed, meditative jazz funeral. A veteran of both the local guitar supergroup Twangorama and Susan Cowsill's band, Robinson is a 12-string whiz and a former classical guitarist, so his chops are impeccable. To his credit, he never lets his virtuosity stand in place of personality. Most of the tracks on Vibrating Strings are complex, rootsy and spare " just Robinson's slightly raspy vocals and thundering picking " with a power that recalls Richard Thompson and haunting, dark-country emotion reminiscent of Neko Case. The inclusion of covers like 'Mary" and Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir" are almost like the winking Easter egg of the album, revealing the breadth of Robinson's skill.
