Rich Robinson- FLUX- CD- 2016- Circle Sound Records LLC/Eagle Rock Entertainment, Ltd.- 5034504165021- 400 grn
FLUX is the fourth solo album from Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson. It is his first for Eagle Rock Entertainment and features guest appearances by Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke and former Hookah Brown bandmate John Hogg. FLUX was released on 24th June 2016. Following The Ceaseless Sight by a mere two years, FLUX does seem like a companion to that 2014 album, the first Rich Robinson released after the dissolution of The Black Crowes. Robinson released solo projects before, always capitalizing on the band's frequent hiatuses, but The Ceaseless Sight found him harnessing The Crowes' funky Southern mélange for his own purposes. FLUX follows suit but Robinson seems relaxed here, a shift in sensibility that opens up the music, giving it swing and warmth. Rich Robinson gives these 13 songs a hefty yet expansive production and that grounds his trippier moments, lends muscle to his sweeter sentiments, and is generally appealing in how it evokes rock tradition without being beholden to it. That's the key to FLUX. On the surface, it doesn't seem to offer anything different than what Robinson has done in the past, either on his own or with The Crowes, but it feels fresh and alive, the work of a musician who stays vital by reconnecting with his roots.

FLUX succeeds on the merits of musicianship and writing rather than flash and spectacle. The songwriting is high caliber, especially when the material veers toward the R&B-flecked tendencies that launched The Crowes into the spotlight. They are compositions that require a certain spontaneity, a give-and-take between the instruments and the vocals, and Robinson handles his individual duties with aplomb. That Robinson excels at that kind of material is no secret. His other great talent over the last few decades has been crafting heartfelt ballads that walk the fine line between the rural and the urban. He handles the Macon-style soul admirably, flies to the teary-eyed terrain like a man who has seen the best and worst that humankind has to offer, and takes to space balladry in between. The listener feels we might never regain the sure footing of those more aggressive pieces. Luckily, Rich Robinson brings us back to the point of focus with Pink Floyd-cum-Robin Trower-style. If it’s a missive to his brother and former compadre in The Crowes, Chris Robinson, it’s a hell of a message to send. It is, at least from one angle, the story of a man who seems adrift, unable or unwilling to see the merits of the path that led him to the highest of highs. No matter the inspiration, it’s a biting, tenacious statement that would be ever-so-more powerful were it the final cut on the record. Instead, we move onto more balladry the Led Zep-style. Neither of those is weaker than anything found on the rest of the record, but they each follow a tune that one thinks would be impossible to follow and they feel more like epilogue than central narrative. That’s an OK problem to have, too much quality material, though it makes for a less-than-perfect record. Still, Robinson has at least temporarily silenced those who may have doubted his abilities or suggested that he couldn’t create fine art without his former band. The group of players gathered here is one we can hope Robinson holds onto for a while because when they cook, full-tilt and full-stop, there’s nothing quite like it.
