CD REVIEW Robin Banks CD "Honestly"
Robin Banks CD "Honestly"  ain't just Blues! That one word can't describe what Robin Banks  brings to the table. Her love for the music she is singing is so deep, that she makes you feel every note every nuance every beat ,that  kind of power can only come from  one place, her soul. With a voice as smooth as silk Robin lay's-em out and knocks-em back like shooting dice. And with" Honestly" you never get snake eye's  only 7's and 11's across the board on this CD. Song after song you will be blown away even if you are a long time lover of the Blues or new to the game. This talented lady produced ,wrote, and arranged this gem of a CD. Their seems to be nothing Robin Banks can't do. So what is next ? Acting why not. The title cut "Honestly" is as true blue as it gets, but my favorite cut is track 5 "I'm In Love With Another  Man" this song reminded me of an older hit you might have heard of "The Night That The Light's Went Out In Georgia" ."I'm In Love With Another  Man" stopped me dead in my tracks  I mean if you got to blow someone  off  and you  need to use someone's else's  music  to speak for you than here is the song you have been looking for .The song is so tender for it's subject matter it rips your heart right out ! Robin Banks play's in Deep Ellum all the time for dates go to the dallasmusic.com calendar or go to her web sitehttp://www.robin-banks.net/ .When you get a chance check her out live.
