Delmark DE 722 (1998)
Compact Disc
Tad is a singer/songwriter extraordinaire whose blues have been influenced by many sources including Chicago blues, R&B, soul, and pop, and then there’s his great harmonica playing! Robinson’s main man was the late Arthur Alexander, and Tad’s high-quality songwriting reflects Alexander’s story-in-song emphasis. As on Tad’s first album, One To Infinity (Delmark 673), long-time friend and musical partner Alex Schultz is on guitar. Alex is best known from his work with Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers but he also recorded with William Clarke on Alligator and toured with Hank Ballard & The Midnighters.
Delmark DE 673
Compact Disc (1994)
One To Infinity consists mostly of Tad Robinson’s own songs with their gritty, urban imagery, whether about pounding the city streets looking for his former love in “Empty Apartment Blues”, or describing the glistening city pavement in “Raining In New York”. The mood and groove varies from the Albert Collins-styled shuffle, “Walking In The Sunshine”, to the soulful flavor of the title track, and the soul-blues “Give Love A Chance” with special guest, Robert Ward.
