Love Will Remain
Robin
Williamson
After “Just Like The River And
Other Songs With Guitar”, his last album with Quadrant
Records, “Love Will Remain” is the second instalment from
Robin Williamson, who offers his songs with the simple
format of voice, acoustic guitar and other instruments
played by himself. Williamson, an icon of British folk-rock,
since in the sixties he revolutionized the
scene as co-leader of the unique “The Incredible String
Band”, now presents, in addition to ten songs on vinyl and
CD, an approach to his paintings and a series of texts that
includes
both his thoughts and explanations on the creation of these
paintings. Ten songs, seven of his own compositions and
three covers among which we find The Band and Syd Barrett,
making up the repertoire of this album, a work that is very
personal, which largely takes us back to the personal and
restless composer, closer to the aesthetics of the years
immediately following the String Band than the deepened
facet of traditional music in which the group plunged into
after its split.
"Love Will Remain" kindly invites us to enter the universe
of a singular and extremely unique artist, an artist whose
influence has been openly acknowledged by some of the most
important musicians of recent decades. The edition includes
180-gram vinyl, CD insert and booklet with large paintings
and texts from this contemporary bard whose work continues
to remain latent and timeless.
