Recorded in his hometown and mixed in Nashville by Grammy Award-winning producer Ray Kennedy, his second full-length release I'll Make The Most of My Sins sees him sited by The Guardian as one the UK's top Americana artists.\nRobert hit the road in Spring for Hearts of Glass Tour supporting Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman and closed the show in style with his performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test: For One Night Only on BBC4 which resulted in his album soaring to #1 in iTunes Country chart toppling Chris Stapleton off the top spot. For his follow-up album (due Spring 2019) he'll be working with legendary Brit Award-winning producer Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Paul McCartney). \nThis Summer, he's been on the supporting bill for his hero Roger Waters in Hyde Park at British Summer Time and will join The Titan of Twang Duane Eddy across UK on his 80th birthday tour in October before undertaking his own headline tour across UK this November:
