Bruce Robison - It Came From San Antonio

While this CD is short in length, less than thirty minutes, it is not short on quality. Opening up the CD is a rumpus tribute to the Sir Douglas Quartet with the title cut �It Came From San Antonio�. This upbeat hip shaker comes straight from the 60�s, with a lot of fun had by all.   Robison them slows it down with some of the best wistful melodies he has written. One can almost hear Dylan or James Taylor influences in the songs �When It Rains� and �My Baby Now�.   Of course it helps to have a wife like Kelly Willis, who can provide backup vocals. Willis shines in the song �What Makes You Say�, a slow ballad about a non-ending love. Robison and Willis do a masterful duet here.   While this CD might be short, it is certainly worthwhile. Robison has had success in writing songs other artists have recorded in the past. There are certainly some nuggets here which should be mined and heard by many.
