Robbie Robertson ‎– Contact From The Underworld Of Redboy (1998)


One of my favorite albums as of late.

His Music for Native Americans has long been one of my favorite albums.

This one, however, has lately been coming to the forefront of my shuffle mixes and continues to stand out as a pleasant surprise.

While the Native American focus is still dominant, this one has embraced an electronic/trip hop kind of feel and the lyrics have taken on a heavier, more mystical/mysterious flare interspersed with some political fare as well (the song 'Sacrifice' is about and features a soundbyte from Leonard Peltier).

High recommendation, great for late night drives.

  1. nice. i like this one. tho, i haven't heard it in awhile. i can throw you this release if you want it: http://www.discogs.com/Redboy-Contact-From-The-Underworld/release/90700 it's been awhile since i've heard it, but i liked it a lot. i got into robbie because of 'storyville' and i was a huge u2 fan back in the day and i heard bono & co were on it. i'm okay with that start. got me into daniel lanois' first album too, which is also stunning. i can throw that your way too.

    btw, i'm still glad you are keeping on doing your thing. take care dude!

  2. Kevin,

    Great to see you're still around!

    Would love to hear all of the above (noticed Howie B's name on the Redboy EP).

    Not working the cushy weekend gig that allowed me countless hours of blogging but as long as it's still fun I'll be here... listening... seeking... blogging.
