Biography

Sherman Robertson was born in Beaux Bridge, Louisiana and raised in Houston, Texas. In high school, his music teacher, Conrad Johnson, recruited Robertson to play in Connie's Combo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tasty blues from an all star band, January 30, 1999
This review is from: Going Back Home (Audio CD)
Sherman Robertson has made himself one excellent blues album. His guitar work is exemplary and his voice is in fine form. The thing that makes the album really stand out is the group of musicians Sherman chose to make this essentially live album with. Bill Payne (of Little Feat fame) on keyboards, definitely one of the greatest keyboardists around shows he can also play the blues. Richie Hayward (Also one of the founding members of Little Feat) shows why many consider him to be the best drummer around today. Bob Glaub (famous session bassist) lays down the perfect blues beat along with Mr. Hayward. Joe Sublett (of the Texicali Horns) fills in with numerous tasty and well done horn fills. If you love the blues this album is a must for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars pure rhythm and blues for your ears, April 30, 2007

This review is from: Going Back Home (Audio CD)
Some years ago I saw Sherman Robertson at one of his live concerts, in a small open arena. I was sitting in the first row, really close to the stage, and I was deeply struck by his guitar style. A mid-crunch sound (he was playing a Gibson 335 semi-acoustic guitar), with a nice choice of straight classic blues notes, essential and effective. I had never met him before and it was a surprise and a really enjoyable experience. After some years, I bought this record and here I found again the same atmosphere and most of those songs: except for a couple of ballads, a "zydeco" and a swing-styled piece, the record shows a nice selection of pure rhythm and blues tracks, with the same guitar set and a very good band of musicians (some of them coming from the Little Feat experience). Last, but not least, the quality of the recording is really high (one of the best I have ever found in such works). If you like blues and blues guitar players, I think this record and Mr. Robertson will not disappoint you.
