What they say about Tim

SUZANNE VEGA...  "What can I tell you about this collection of Tim Robinson's songs? He is one of my favorite songwriters. You have to read his songs as well as listen to them to get just how striking his ideas are. The songs are witty and sometimes dark but never cynical.... the world reflected through the prism of an intelligent and original mind. Get to know it."

PERFORMING SONGWRITER...  "His easy delivery falls onto your ears like the cadence of a long-lost brother or favorite uncle—someone you’ve been longing for and never get to see enough, someone with great stories, someone you love."
