So, what's a nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn who has lived in Maine for the past 20 years doing singing a song by Hazel Dickens (Workin' Girl Blues)? The answer lies in the tapestry of music that has been woven into her life, through her associations with other folksingers, whether as a performer herself or, as a booking agent and artists' representative.
Dale Robin describes herself as a song hunter. In this, her first solo album (She previously recorded two CDs with Mom's Home Cookin' See WI-004, "Give Me The Roses") she has brought together a collection of some of her favorites. They range from silly to poignant, from traditional to newly written, including the title song, A Taste of You, which includes the line "Sweet and Salty."
Now that she's reached a time and place where she can consider and act upon new beginnings, this project represents her new life as a performer of the music she has always cherished.
Ably accompanied by: Don Barry (bass), Andy Cohen (guitar), John Cote (drums), Jonathan Danforth (Bones, Fiddle, Viola and whistling), "Ragtime" Jack Radcliffe (piano), Don Wessels (harmonica) and Gail Wiegner (vocals).
