George Robinson – Refuge

Guitarist George Robinson invites us to travel inside his world, a world where the acoustic guitar brings out beauty, battle and harmony.

Robinson is certainly a great guitarist – one who doesn’t try to impress through speed and technique, but one who impresses through the sheer beauty of what he does. In his hands, the acoustic guitar takes a life all its own. The music itself, superbly composed, flows admirably throughout.

All the compositions are played on a single guitar. Nothing else is added yet nothing is missing. Robinson understands how to let the music speak.

This is a beautifully executed album, one that reminds me of the work of Warren Butler, which is certainly high praise.
