Guitar virtuoso Terry Robb – 18 time winner of the Cascade Blues Association’s Muddy Award –  is one of the most heralded players of the flourishing Pacific Northwest blues scene. Resting Place, his debut album with Yellow Dog Records, features well-chosen covers that compliment Robb’s originals, echoing a broad swath of roots legends such as Merle Travis, Joe Callicott, Reverend Gary Davis, Lightning Hopkins, and John Fahey.

Robb traveled to Memphis for a dream recording session with engineer Roland Janes (Jerry Lee Lewis) – linchpin of hundreds of Sun Records and Sam Phillips recording sessions. Anchoring the date were some of Memphis’ finest: drummer Willie Hall (Isaac Hayes, The Blues Brothers, The Bo-Keys), bassist Paul Taylor (North Mississippi Allstars), and keyboard man Charlie Wood (B.B. King, The Bo-Keys).

Combined with solo tracks showcasing Robb’s phenomenal fingerpicking, the resulting album is a tour-de-force of acoustic blues guitar.

“A finely crafted CD that defies categorization. Robb has a clean soulful style of picking the steel-stringed acoustic guitar… creates a pure joyous feeling that certainly attests to the healing power of the blues.”   –Living Blues

“This is a great acoustic blues record! Deft & accurate fingerpicking combines with a lot of soul to make a record that expresses the blues much better than a lot of the showier players out there... This guy is one of the best.”   –KRFP

“From the first listen, Robb’s guitar playing can blow you away… Resting Place is an acoustic guitarist's heaven.”    –Vintage Guitar

“Terry Robb’s performance is flawless and mind-bending... It ties the Blues bond between Memphis and Portland and makes you realize that wherever he plays, Terry Robb is a master.”   —Cascade Blues Association BluesNotes
