I wonder what Tricky will think of this.

 

[METALPRIEST]

I would like to know...HEY TRICKSTER!! Chime in here!!!

 

[Lynch]

Well, she's the world's biggest fan of Robin, so she may make an exception when it comes to country music this time around.

That's true

@the Trickster comments.. I have to say after reading who helped with the new album, I don't know any of them.. But I do know Zander pulling a crossover isn't a bad idea..
It's good to expand into different genres when you have the style and worthy vocals as Robin does..
I'm a bit surprised or maybe it just wasn't mentioned that he would bring his daughter in on a few tracks..

Anyways..maybe Tricky can fill in some more..

Well guys to be honest this is the first iv heard of this one..

I'll for sure listen to it and give it a chance, Robin could probably sing the yellow pages if he chose..It'll be an interesting listen for me.

Plus look at him on the front cover

Zander going country!!...nothing surprises me anymore many artists have crossed over to try and extend their careers the last few years.

Not sure I will pick this album up myself, if I want country I go for the older stuff generally speaking, but I wish Robin well with his venture.

This is gonna be one of the best albums of the year!

Can't wait.
