From The Ground Up by Robin Grey Robin Grey : From The Ground Up.
Gently experimental nu-folk.


Released on July 19, 2017, my fifth album, From The Ground Up, includes the widest range of musical guests and collaborators to date with fifteen musicians over the eleven tracks.

Songs written and recorded over the course of the last decade all made it on to the record, including two songs co-written with Tim Graham and two traditional folk songs. It's also the first time I've handed lead vocal duties over to others, as I loved the tracks so much as they sung them.

In time honoured tradition for me, I also took the opportunity to re-record two of my older songs which I felt needed a new lease of life.
