Phil Robinson - Transcendental Cowboy (Acoustic Demo)
Phil Robinson is a singer-songwriter, as well as harmonica player based in New York City. He has built his popularity from playing fun, high-energy shows in the East Coast and occasionally lending his unique harmonica talent to other musicians, featuring on their singles to add some Phil Robinson sound to their mix. Today, Phil delivers with a single called “Transcendental Cowboy” released to raise funds for local music venues that have suffered setbacks due to COVID-19.
From start to finish, this tune is packed with energy. Pure energy is absolutely spouting from both Robinson’s hard-hitting harmonica and his vocals; almost every last word sounds like it comes from the last breath Phil has. The lyrics are feel-good and punchy, while occasionally self-reflective. With lines like “Slightly over-educated [...] just a Bruce Springsteen wanna-be” it’s easy to find yourself lost in the narrative, and by the end of this song you might find yourself tapping your feet and possibly falling in love with the character that is Phil Robinson.
Through “Transcendental Cowboy”, we get a great feel for the kind of person this artist is and the raw power he has within his music. Perhaps even more important is Phil Robinson’s sense of charity, working to help the music venues he cares so deeply about stay afloat during this trying time.
