Robbie Roberston: Sinematic

The 13-songs of Robby Roberston’s new, Sinematic pretty much follows the ex-Band songwriter/guitarist/vocalist round his usual way of unique storytelling, barely-there voice, and guitar dexterity. The first from this icon in eight years, here we get some tunes influenced by Robertson scoring Martin Scorsese’s soon-to-be-released “The Irishman” and his forthcoming documentary “Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band” as Roberston’s comments on life. In fact, the first two tunes, the heavily layered “I Hear You Paint Houses,” featuring a Van Morrison vocal and tight wah-wah wailing is about Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, and the synth stomp of the plodding “Once Were Bothers,” tell of Roberston dealing with the darkness of missing his Band bandmates.
