![]() Robert Vincent (from the album In This Town You’re Owned available on Robert Vincent Music) Counting into a slow waltz step, Robert Vincent leads the way down the rough streets of “This Town”, the tune namechecking the album title for his recent release, In This Town You’re Owned. Working class Americana by way of the UK, Liverpool, England-based songman Robert Vincent sees the worries of our world, voices his opinions and observations within the borders of a song. In This Town You’re Owned trudges the path defined by a piano dirge for the societal-shift story in “Kids Don’t Dig God Anymore”, utters simple wisdoms on literary verses cradled with Folk strums for “If You Were You” while Robert Vincent cries out over a hushed musical soundtrack on “I Was Hurt Today But I’m Alright Now”. Bringing American-dusted musical moments to the banks of the Mersey River, Robert Vincent tenderly strums “The Ending”, adding a touch of strolling café accordions to the track’s natural sway. Hard truths and easy melodies are how Robert Vincent describes the songs on his website as he saddles up a Country and Western trot to talk of “My Neighbour’s Ghost” and uses a wide-array of musical styles to unwrap “Husk of a Soul”. In This Town You’re Owned, captured live in the studio straight to sixteen track tape with few overdubs, grants real time to the tales by way of its recording process. A Gospel swing gives air to the “Cuckoo” while Robert Vincent stretches the saga in “The End of the War” over wandering acoustics.
