Description
Nashville-based folk scene fixture Robby Hecht's new self-titled album is anchored by his mixture of shimmering acoustic guitars, understated rhythm section and flourishes of fiddle, horns, piano and sax, the album "represents a return to the early 70's golden era of acoustic pop where thoughtful, well-crafted lyrics were blended with timeless melodies" (Music City Roots).
Produced by Nashville musician Lex Price (Mindy Smith, k.d. Lang), the 12 songs on Hecht's new album paint an intimate portrait of the phases of a long-term relationship and a life introspectively lived. 'Feeling it Now' delves into Hecht's experiences with bipolar disorder. "The Sea and the Shore", co-written with Amy Speace, shows Hecht's knack for quiet, vulnerable ballads, while "Barrio Moon" - a "spooky murder ballad" as Hecht describes it - tells the tale of a stabbing between friends through dark and haunting chords.
One of American Songwriter's "favorite Nashville artists", Hecht - an East Tennessee native - began performing while a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After living in Paris and San Francisco and fronting the pop band AllDay Radio, he returned to Nashville where he has won several prestigious awards for songwriting and shared the stage with acts like John Prine, Colin Meloy, Lucius, Amos Lee, Iron and Wine, Neko Case and Josh Ritter.
