This is the first piece of music i'm putting up in stores in over a decade. It's called Bert's Blueslide.

If you know, you know, if you listen closely you'll eventually find out, and there is a good chance you'll find out while you're not even listening to it.

You might recognize something.

I'll post respective links as they become available on apple, spotify, etc.

Otherwise, you can listen to it early here.

Rich Robinson - “Blackwaterside”

Live on Aug. 11, 2015 at City Winery in Nashville. For confused Led Zeppelin fans, you can thank Bert Jansch for this.

He played this when I saw him last month and my face may have melted off the space that had formerly contained my face.

"I’m so untechnical," she sighs. "In fact, that might have been why I was never happy about recording, because I was never in control. If I’m stood there in front of people with ears and I’m singing to them … well, I’m not in control, the song’s in control, but I’m in control of the channel from me to them." —Anne Briggs, 2007

Anne Briggs taught Bert Jansch the traditional song "Blackwaterside" which he recorded on his Jack Orion album in 1966, and she recorded on her self-titled album in 1971.
