After “Just Like The River And Other Songs With Guitar”,
his last album with Quadrant Records, “Love Will Remain” is the second
instalment from Robin Williamson, who offers his songs with the simple
format of voice, acoustic guitar and other instruments played by
himself. Williamson, an icon of British folk-rock, since in the sixties
he revolutionized the scene as co-leader of the unique “The Incredible
String Band”, now presents, in addition to ten songs on vinyl and CD, an
approach to his paintings and a series of texts that includes both his
thoughts and explanations on the creation of these paintings. Ten songs,
seven of his own compositions and three covers among which we find The
Band and Syd Barrett, making up the repertoire of this album, a work
that is very personal, which largely takes us back to the personal and
restless composer, closer to the aesthetics of the years immediately
following the String Band than the deepened facet of traditional music
in which the group plunged into after its split."Love Will Remain" kindly invites us to enter the universe of a singular and extremely unique artist, an artist whose influence has been openly acknowledged by some of the most important musicians of recent decades. The edition includes 180-gram vinyl, CD insert and booklet with large paintings and texts from this contemporary bard whose work continues to remain latent and timeless.
