Jimmy Robinson
Vibrating Strings
Independent
Longtime Woodenhead and Twangorama electric guitarist Jimmy Robinson establishes his acoustic guitar bonafides on "Vibrating Strings." His playing is rich, lyrical and fluent throughout. His Spanish detour "Pepi" and elegy for late Bonerama bass trombonist Brian O'Neal are gorgeous; his solo acoustic "Kashmir" is a revelation. Bonerama helps reinvent Jimi Hendrix's "Wind Cries Mary"; Theresa Andersson contributes voice and/or violin to three songs; and Susan Cowsill sings on "I Can't Believe It."
Jimmy Robinson with Twangorama, 3:45-4:35 p.m., Allison Miner Music Heritage/Lagniappe Stage
