The "Best Of Robin Auld Volume 1" has been a retail favourite,
selling to the nostalgia driven forty plus market who remember "All
Of Woman". However, his growing younger audience of late twenty to
early thirty-somethings, whose first memories of Auld were
established by his ground breaking "Zen Surfing In the Third World"
album, have been attracted by the contemporary sounds of his more
recent material.
Robin Auld's new album, "Diamond of a Day", absorbs the
influences of his previous acoustic soul recordings into the big
and bold strokes of an immediate pop record. The various influences
on Auld's work, from the established canon of the singer/songwriter
to the Southern African, blues and Celtic guitar styles that
continue to inspire him, are represented throughout the 13 tracks
all underpinned by his distinctive vocal phrasings and, as always,
Auld's strong melodic sense.
The various songwriting styles of pop, blues, country and
African have has merged into a sound he calls rootspop, where
mbaqanga rhythms pulse under Celtic melodies, pop guitar lines mix
with blues groove tunes and straight ahead pop songs display Auld's
love of counterpoint and harmony.... all while keeping his one-take
production philosophy.
The track "I Got Lucky" reached No 16 on New York's Crystal
Blue Top 50 songs of 2004.
