Terry Robb hails from Portland, OR & "Resting Place" is his debut release for Yellow Dog Records. Recording took place in The Sam Phillips Studio in Memphis & was engineered by Roland Janes, veteran of many Sun Records releases. Robb is heralded as one of the finest guitar pickers of the northwest states & has gained many awards from that region's Blues societies. He is pictured on the CD cover as an unassuming, tall, thin guy fingerpicking an acoustic flat-top guitar with a sound-hole pickup . . . in addition I hear a resophonic guitar played with slide but I'm almost certain that all the guitar parts are played on acoustic instruments . . . he does a pretty good job of "Hesitation Blues" & the very Lightnin' Hopkins-esque "Madison Ave Shuffle" yet, when the band (Willie Hall, drums, Charlie Wood, piano & Paul Taylor, bass) kicks in the guitar rises to meet the challenge without shortfall, proving that an electric guitar is not always fitting. Terry Robb is one of a small number of American preservationists & a guitar master up with the best.
