Treat Me Right (6/24/2008) add to cart
- Robin Rogers
Music has been Robin Rogers' consuming passion ever since her days as a teenage street singer. Possessing a deeply expressive and soulful voice and an infectious enthusiasm for the blues, Robin and her band have developed a devoted and growing following. Her Blind Pig debut, Treat Me Right, fulfills the promise of her previous two releases, revealing an accomplished artist of rare polish and originality. It features perhaps her most powerful composition, "Color-Blind Angel", a moving account of the life and death of white civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo, who was assassinated by the KKK in 1965. "Color-Blind Angel" won second place in the blues category of the 2007 International Songwriters Competition. "The combination of excellent material and Rogers' compelling voice is what makes this a winner." - AllMusic "The album is consistently good -- no matter what she sings, Rogers pours herself into it. She's tough and tender, sometimes both at the same time." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "This is the album that should make Rogers a household name among blues fans." - Hittin' The Note Tracks: 1.
