C'mon Bruce
I have to give it 3 stars though, because it only has 7 songs. If you're a BR fan, this cd will not disappoint musically. Fans that support an artist expect more for their hard earned money.

Bruce Robison is a great singer/songwriter and an entertainer worth travelling to see and hear! This album is a winner.


Another Excellent Album.
Excellent lyrics and accompanying music but I never hear the guy singing his own songs on the Radio, it's always someone else, someone famous. I do not know why this guy is not a superstar. Here is another in a line of great albums. It's become one of my favorites even after a hundred times listening! My one complaint: it's too short.


Doug Sahm Lives!
Nice to know songwriters remember Huey P Mieux and Doug Sahm . . and if only the title track had a FarFisa organ sound from Augie Meyer, it would rate ten stars.
Superb, if short, album.
Buy it.
You'll remember how you knew Robison when.


A shorter, though excellent, Robison record
His voise is smooth, his style laid-back but intimate. Bruce Robison is one of those few songwriters who can take a simple lyric and make it profound. . . his records flow like honey, although are usually more bitter than sweet; for, although they sound relaxed, Robison's songs usually deal with the darker side of life--heartaches, alcohol, homelessness, whatever gets you down.

IT CAME FROM SAN ANTONIO is another great Robison record; it's significantly shorter (only seven songs; we definitely would have prefered more material, but we'll deal with what we're dealt). The rollickin' title track kicks the set off; the rest is mostly mid-tempo balladry, though it never seems dull; Robison's lyrics keep your ears rivetted, waiting for the next bit of wisdom ("I thought I knew trouble, but the Devil laughed at me"). Bruce Robison is a songwriter's songwriter; the fact that he hasn't become a huge success yet speaks volumes about radio's failure to recognize true musical talent. He's had hits as a songwriter (George Strait's "Desperately" and "Wrapped," Dixie Chick's "Travellin' Soldier," Tim McGraw's "Angry All the Time") but has yet to gain recognition on his own. One of these days, he will; until then, we can sit back and listen to one of the best kept secrets in country music.
