“I don’t believe in reincarnation and the
chronology is a bit off as their time on earth has
some overlap, but darned if Nell Robinson
doesn’t sound like a reincarnated Hazel Dickens.”

“Robinson’s heartfelt vocals and soaring
harmonies are perfect for the traditional bluegrass
standards and old country tracks.”
“Nell’s new original songs display her gift of story-telling.
This lovingly-crafted album will inspire you to
look back to your own family roots, and like Nell, you might
find some amazing surprises in the old
stories and memories of a bygone time.”
“Robinson’s mixture of creative songwriting,
top notch musicianship, and comical stories allows
her to achieve her apparent goal of connecting
with fans. Both witty and sweet.”
“The originals are wonderful, and the old
songs with Robinson's sharp arrangements are even
more so. Robinson delivers beautifully.”
“Nell Robinson’s On The Brooklyn Road paints the
past and present in perfect sepia tones”
“With a voice reminiscent of Elizabeth Cook,
Robinson’s music is pure Appalachian front
porch in style, truly a treasure.”
“In country music terms the South has
“risen again” with singer Nell Robinson. Like David
Allan Coe, Nell Robinson likes old songs.
Her first disc, Loango, charted on the bluegrass/Americana
charts in America, and now we have a
stunning second helping.”
On the Brooklyn Road is an engaging and
homespun collection of 12 bluegrass and country gems.
Highly recommended.”
“Flat good roots music. She can sound uncannily
like Emmylou Harris but she also has a bit
of Donna Hughes’s mountain cry, along with her
own sense of phrasing and delivery to mark
her as an original stylist.”
