Autor: Branimir Lokner

Jimmy Robinson je jedan od najcenjenijih akustičnih gitarista u New Orleans regiji, i u tome se slaže veliki broj USA analitičara i kritičara. Dugo je u poslu, a “Guitarworks” je njegovo aktuelno ostvarenje na kojem se našlo 15 songova. 12 su autorski radovi, a tri su coveri, od kojih dva su planetarno poznata – “Little Wing (Hendrix) i “Eight Miles High” (The Byrds). Sa grupom saradnika i profesionalaca snimio je album koji se generalno može tretirati kao acoustic / roots music proizvod, ali neuporediv sa brojnim drugim izdanjima, koji pomenute stilske elemente takođe imaju u sopstvenoj izražajnoj formi. Robinson je takođe talentovan i ozbiljan songwriter, ali njegova finger picking tehnika i virtuozni stil su nešto posebno i unikatno.” Guitarworks” se dugo i postepeno otkriva, i zavređuje češća puštanja kroz player.

Ocena: 8, 5 / 10
