Robin Adams’ “The Beggar,” is a superb album. Contrasting in mood with his previous work, the nine songs feature strong songwriting alongside intelligent and often adventurous musicianship. While his fingerpicked acoustic guitar is at the core of each song, subtle strings, bowed cello, and percussion frequently enhance the sound, creating a gorgeous, elegiac atmosphere. It’s lean, creative, and packs exceptional depth, deserving many accolades.

Hailing from Glasgow, Robin Adams provides a garden of earthly delights on his latest release. The theme of the struggling artist informs much of the material – not surprising when you read of Robin’s own battles. Evocative at times of the vocals of John Martyn and the guitar work of Bert Jansch.
