  Rich Robinson - Bio
Rich Robinson's talents are already familiar to the millions of fans who've embraced his work as guitarist/songwriter/co-founder of the Black Crowes.
Robinson built a recording studio in his Connecticut home, did some writing and producing with other artists, and made his first venture into film soundtrack work by writing and performing the score for the 2002 feature "Highway".
Robinson recorded Paper largely on his own, cutting tracks in old-school analog style and playing most of the instruments except drums, which were provided by Joe Magistro.

 [No title]
Though Rich Robinson was the silent brother in The Black Crowes, content to lurk in the shadows while brother Chris shot his mouth off about any and everything, he was also responsible for the vast majority of the band's riffs and songs and, according to some folks, desperate to be in the spotlight.
The self-release of Paper, where Rich sings (for the first time), plays almost all the instruments (drums and keyboards are the only things played by someone else), produces, and even uses one of his own paintings as the cover, seems to support this theory.
I guess Rich figured that you stick to what you do best, which in his case is certainly the Southern-tinged classic hard rock sound that the Crowes perfected during their decade-plus, six-album run.

 Rolling Stone : Rich Robinson Flies Solo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Rich Robinson's next phase has been a bit longer coming, as his band Hookah Brown derailed in May 2003 due to financial disagreements, just months after assembling.
Robinson doesn't flash the live-wire set of pipes that his brother did on the Crowes' early recordings, but his Jeff Tweedyish croon puts the verses over just fine, and his use of harmony and gospel-tinged choruses, help add muscle to the hooky choruses.
Robinson hopes to have the remainder of the songs mixed in the next two weeks, with plans for a June tour and a release in late July or early August.

 Chris Robinson
Christopher Mark Robinson (born December 20, 1966 in Atlanta, Georgia), better known as Chris Robinson, is the singer of the rock and roll jam band The Black Crowes and brother of its guitarist Rich Robinson.
The album saw Rich Robinson handling all guitar duties (Audley Freed did not join until the support tour was to begin) and was a much more lean, straightforward affair than their previous two releases.
Rich Robinson had finished his solo tour in December of 2004 and had also faded into the background, leaving the possibility of a reunion more open.

Rich's mother, Amy Robinson, said the family had just started their vacation at Yellowstone National Park on Saturday and were taking their first walk through the park.
Rich's father, Trace, was the one who actually pulled him out of the stream, which Amy Robinson said rangers estimate to be between 160 degrees and 170 degrees.

Where Rich Robinson used to write the music in the Black Crowes and his brother, Chris, handled the lyrics, now Rich has to do it all himself in his new solo venture.
Rich's voice isn't as charismatic as his brother's ("I approach singing as a musical part to a song -- I'm not a singer's singer," he says), but it's strong enough in conjunction with some exquisite electro-acoustic arrangements to make this a hot disc.
The Rich Robinson Band is at Brother Jimmy's BBQ, Cambridge, on Thursday and July 8, 15, and 22 with Mary Lee's Corvette opening.

 Spotlight On...Rich Robinson | Stony Brook Independent
Although Rich Robinson's talents are more than familiar to the millions of fans who've embraced his work both in and out of The Black Crowes, many remain unaware of his musical prowess.
Robinson took it in stride, however, abundantly cognizant of the fact that such a potent musical statement would be out of place in the current flash and image-conscious climate that is today's popular music scene.
Shortly afterward, Robinson made his first completely solo statement, writing and performing the score for the 2002 feature film "Highway." This experience (although never commercially released) undoubtedly gave Robinson both the confidence and the drive to take on a solo career with full force.

But such is not the case for Rich Robinson, one half of the Robinson brothers who formed the on hiatus Black Crowes 20 years ago.
But Robinson abandoned the promising project last summer, stating that some band members' intentions were not about the music.
Robinson goes for a trippier type of sound on Leave It Alone, but it works pretty well, even if it doesn't rock as hard as the album's opening duo.

 DOA - Rich Robinson - Paper
Rich, on the other hand, has been relatively silent, stewing with jealousy for his more famous brother, waiting patiently for the day when he would drop his own solo career and regain the title of most musically gifted Robinson brother.
Rich Robinson makes no claims to have the singing abilities of his brother; to compensate for his shortcomings in this department, he layers the choruses with tinny, mechanical-sounding harmony.
Robinson doesn’t seem completely comfortable in the role of the solo songwriter, and he hesitates to mix things up too much, but Paper’s best tracks stray slightly from the Black Crowes formula that pervades the rest of the album.

The first 14 seconds of Rich Robinson's solo debut present as distinctive a guitar voice as rock 'n' roll may have ever known.
It is but one of many elements on this terrific set that reveals both Robinson's underrated genius in The Black Crowes and his newfound voice as a bird flying free for the first time in more than a decade.
Hearing Robinson's array of electric slide and delicately picked acoustics glide with Eddie's keyboards proves a pleasant reminder of their work together on "Thorn In My Pride" and "Descending," and confirms there's creative fires still burning in the Crowes family.

 Rich Robinson - Paper : album review
For the past three-and-a-half years, Robinson has been finding his voice by composing music and then writing lyrics to suit the melodies that express his feelings and state of mind, finally manifested in his debut composition.
For Robinson, Paper has a metaphorical definition as he says it is a "blank sheet of paper...For 15 years I wrote for Chris' voice, but this is for me." The cover sleeve is actually taken from an oil canvas of Robinson's that he has been haphazardly painting for about 12 years.
Paper was recorded in New York City and sees Robinson take all the lead and backing vocals for the first time as well as playing guitar, bass, keyboards and percussion while Joe Magistro sits on the drum stool.

 Paste Magazine :: Review :: Rich Robinson - Paper :: Keyhole (Page 1)
Guitarist Rich Robinson’s self-produced solo debut makes a strong case for him as the most essential member of the Black Crowes.
The music on Rich’s is far superior, and while he writes great melodies, he’s a much better backup singer than lead vocalist.
Together, however, the Robinson brothers form a Zen-like circle of rock ’n’ roll; their complementing talents an asset that shouldn’t be squandered.

After a hiatus of a couple of years and some solo projects, The Black Crowes -- primarily brothers Chris and Rich Robinson -- are putting aside their differences and getting back to collaborating.
But wait, I’m sorry, I went off on a tangent there; this is supposed to be about the Rich Robinson's record.
Rich's weak voice gets buried underneath the screaming guitar licks, making the album pretty much unlistenable.

 The Music Box: Rich Robinson - Paper (Album Review)
When The Black Crowes split, everyone expected that animated singer and lyricist Chris Robinson quickly would find a new band to front, but it was anyone’s guess as to what fate would befall his enigmatic younger brother Rich, whose quietly controlling demeanor shaded much of the group’s music.
Indeed, things looked grim for the junior Robinson after his initial post-Crowes project Hookah Brown collapsed under the weight of a financial dispute among its members, but his solo debut Paper undoubtedly is his rather triumphant recovery.
In essence, Paper expands upon Robinson’s repertoire, but introduces nothing that is new to the genre of classic rock in general.
