This release, Bishop’s first solo offering with our label, finds the multi-faceted musician in a reflective state of mind. He is thinking of his former musicians, some lost along the way, but with a handful he has connected with time and again for over 50 years. The song Union Hill for example was written as an homage to his days playing with the Walrus Brothers band, a crazy era that he returns to often in his memories. In general, though, Robinson says he titles his compositions in much the same way that Native Americans do their children – just going with the first thought that comes to mind. Based upon the evidence gathered here, we would say that this strategy has served him quite well.
