Remember what Rick Rubin did for Johnny Cash? Revitalize his career by letting him sing classic young and old accompanied mostly only by a very sparse acoustic-guitar centred instrumentation? Something similar can be witnessed by looking at the latest project by our beloved Eugene S. Robinson who will be releasing a covers record re-imagining classics by for example Sammy Davis Jr. As a very special gift for all our VoS-aficionados we got an exclusive text by Ako-Lite owner and long-time-Robinson intimate John Getze! Enjoy!
