Dance w/Bruce Robison | Chris Wall January 30, 2009

Bruce Robison is among the first rank of Texans -- and, by extension, American--songwriters. His latest and sixth, album, "The New World", merely confirms that he is a genuine tunesmith to be reckoned with. He has written hit songs like "Angry All the Time" (Faith Hill & Tim McGraw), "Travelin' Soldier" (Dixie Chicks) and "Wrapped" (George Strait).

In a era where cliches dominate every publicity bio and country wannabes desperately try to establish their credibility by citing their “influences”, Grammy-nominated songwriter Chris Wall doesn’t even bother. He doesn’t have to. In review after review he is cited as “The Real Deal”. If that weren’t enough one needn’t look past the faces on the packed dance floors of the western honky tonks he plays, nor past the lips of the dancers singing along to every single word. Perhaps one quote from a truly legendary Texas songwriter sums it up best:
“In this lawless terminal age where music is made for the sole purpose of creating revenue for corporations, Chris Wall is a cowboy savior/hero/poet who with his words and music gives us redemption from the atrocities of this illusion that is presently known as country music.” —Ray Wylie Hubbard
