Robyn Red has burst on to
the UK country scene, winning accolades and fans wherever she goes! With her trademark red hat and her
enthusiastic and supportive team you can’t miss her. When you meet Robyn face to face, she comes
across as quite shy and reserved, and even on stage she has a soft voice – but
the moment she picks up her guitar a change comes across her and she sounds far
more confident, singing her self-penned songs and getting the crowd eating out
of her hand! Those vocals are polished
and mature, the songwriting excellent.
Hailing from Scotland, Robyn
has not only played her own headline gigs in Glasgow and at the C2C festival
but at festivals and shows all over the UK including Country In The Afternoon
at the iconic Half Moon Putney and at Buckle and Boots, plus a visit to
Birmingham for Nashville Sounds in the Round.
Following the success of her
previous single releases (including a number 1 position) Robyn is releasing her
new song Luke Jackson. The press
release accompanying the track goes to great length to point out that Robyn has
written this from her imagination rather than real life – and when you listen
to the story you understand why!
Our storyteller meets a guy
in a bar – the Luke Jackson of the title.
He’s tall, blue eyed, handsome, everything she wants. Sadly, he’s also married! The song has a dark edge (he’s found out and
confronted by all his girlfriends!) and is written very much in the “old
school” Country Music story telling style.
Although this song is true country, it has a certain Scottish edge to
it, not just from Robyn’s accent but from the strings and guitars combining to
just add a touch of folk to the sound. The drums move the pace along, giving
pace to an otherwise melancholy revenge song!
Luke Jackson is
a wonderful blend of traditional storytelling, Robyn’s vocals and excellent
instrumentation, all combining to create a polished, well rounded country song. Anyone who has seen Robyn perform will know
that she has plenty more to come, and this new single certainly proves that.
Luke Jackson, the new single
from Robyn Red is available to download and stream from Friday 6 October.
