Robert Chaney is an American performing artist, heir to the songwriting traditional style of Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, and Judee Sill. His Highly anticipated ten track debut album Cracked Picture Frames . Written in the bleached out swamps of South Florida and recorded in London, ‘Cracked Picture Frames’ is a hard-core and stripped-down survey of ballads, blood, and bone song after song stuns the listener. The album is “Sharp, intelligent, thoughtful and moving.”
Produced and recorded by Ken Brake at Regal Lane Studio, London
Its an impressive debut – it has the sensibilities of a bygone era without sounding out of date.
There’s very few artists these days that will get you thinking in the likes of Woodie Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg, or any of the other great folk artists of the past (and present). But Robert Chaney is definitely one of those. Right there with Vikesh Kapoor and Luke Redfield, a few other modern troubadours carrying the torch today.
