Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 29 – Robbie Robertson, “How To Become Clairvoyant”
Robbie Robertson, How To Become Clairvoyant, 2011 He was in The Band – and not just in the band but he wrote or co-wrote most of the great material, many of the best songs you might ever hear. So Robbie Robertson is destined to get a free pass it seems. Because he is – as […]Archive
