Majestic Halls oozes warm, honeyed southern soul and a gospel vibe that will inevitably draw comparisons to Van Morrison but there are other more country and bluesier colours to its palette, Robins wielding his brush with the mastery of a Van Gogh as he paints his musical canvas.
The songs here may have been gathering dust, but, brought out into the light, they have produced a hugely listenable and enjoyable album, a perfect soulful accompaniment to summer and further evidence of Robins’ fabulous voice and huge talent.
