Flux showcases a rich variety of tempos, tones, and guitar tuning, ranging from the vibrant swagger Robinson first popularized with the Black Crowes to the rich, evocative allure evident in songs such as “Sleepwalker” and “Ides of Nowhere.” “These were great examples of songs transforming from little ideas I originally had. Both just came alive when I had the band with me in the studio. They weren’t anything like what I had first envisioned. It was exciting to experience that process.”

Robinson’s creative process within the recording studio shaped such standout Flux tracks as “Music That Will Lift Me,” the album’s first single. “I am always excited by the creation itself,” Robinson explains. “I used the studio to specifically write that song. I had these parts written but it started to unfold once I got to Applehead Studios. “I later wrote the lyrics in Nashville and it had really evolved into something special.” Brimming with redemptive spirit, Robinson’s vocal and guitar work shine throughout. Joining him on the track is Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke, who lends guitar alongside Robinson’s own.

Backed by musicians Matt Slocum (keys), Marco Benevento (keys), Danny Mitchell (keys) Zak Gabbard (bass), Joe Magistro (drums / percussion) and vocalists John Hogg and Danielia Cotton, Robinson transports the listener with a powerful collection of music. From the groove-laden feel of opener “The Upstairs Land,” the kick of funk via “Shipwreck,” and the gospel swell of “Everything’s Alright,” to the emotional build-up of “Life” and the hearty stomp of closing track “Sleepwalker,” Flux ebbs and flows through moods, delivering a varied listener experience.

A creative soul through and through, Robinson is not only presenting Flux this year, but his artwork was recently displayed at both Morrison Hotel Gallery in NYC and Truth North Gallery in Canada. In May and June, Robinson will serve as a special guest guitarist for Bad Company. Robinson and Bad Company lead vocalist Paul Rodgers recently met and collaborated on a tribute to Jimmy Page. Rodgers was so impressed with Robinson that he asked him to take part in this special Bad Company US tour. Robinson will also embark on an extensive US solo tour kicking off in July. Additionally, he recently collaborated with Zac Brown on his new album and is also featured on “The Way Home” — the final track of producer David Cobb’s concept album Southern Family – with gospel choir the Settles Connection.
