Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Robin flat out shines on Catbird Seat. Better songs, more heart than '80s Chartbusters recordings. Astounding. This is a real gem. Seek this one out.

I have not heard from Robin Lane since the Chartbuster's second album in 1982. This album does not disappoint though,-she remains the queen of jangly folk-rock. Excellent work, Robin!!

I really enjoyed this Cd, from Robin Lane. She has gotten better than ever. This is easy listening music. Her voice is absolutley beautiful. Anyone who purchased this CD already know's its a great CD.My favorite song on this CD is Wishing on Telstar! Thanks Again Robin. Linda from Cambridge.

Remember how you felt the first time you heard Marianne Faithfull's re-incarnated whisky rasp voice on 1979's "Broken English"? Well, this will make you feel that same way. You wouldn't think this was the same person who rocked the Paradise and Orpheum oh so many years ago. Sounds vaguely like Sixpence, None The Richer; or Belinda Carlisle on "happy" juice. OK, times change and so do people. She found God, had a baby, moved to the country ("...built herself a home...ate a lot of peaches...", etc. But, where on earth did this syrupy-sweet voice come from? And, as if the new voice wasn't already enough to make you want to gag, the lyrical content is just one cliche short of total banality (I mean, "la-la"...for goodness sake, Robin!) And so you can see why this item is out of print, and unlikely to be re-issued ever again. If you don't have it, you're not missing much. If you're looking for it, don't bother. Maybe the next re-incarnation will be more entertaining.
