From the first listen, Robb's guitar playing can blow you away. Check his bio, and you'll see he's a favorite player in the Northwest, and a former buddy of John Fahey. Then it all makes sense.

Resting Place is an acoustic guitarist's heaven. While he shines on the blues, he's not afraid to tackle other genres. His take on "My Baby Left Me" is rockabilly heaven... on acoustic! The solo will have you running to work on your flatpicking. There's a lot of that here. "My Mind is Trying to Leave Me" is a slow blues with amazing soloing. "Like Merle" is an instrumental with a ragtime feel. The minor-key "Louise" lets Robb show off his blues chops. "Hesitation Blues"/"Knowing What Blues" is a medley that'll leave your mouth agape.

Robb's playing covers lots of ground without skipping a beat. Acoustic blues, old rock and roll, soul ("Lonely Avenue"), even pop ("My Sweet Potato") are all handled wonderfully. Robb's vocals are fine, but his playing will leave you absolutely smiling.
