Am I Losing You - Sherman Robertson & The BluesMove

Sherman Robertson (born October 27, 1948, Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, United States) is an American blues guitarist, songwriter and singer, who has been described as "one part zydeco, one part swamp blues, one part electric blues and one part classic rhythm and blues." Robertson was born in Louisiana and raised in Houston, Texas. At the age of 13, he watched a performance on television by Hank Williams. Duly inspired and equipped with a cheap guitar purchased by his father, he started playing the songs previously performed by Freddie King and Floyd London. As he lived close to the Duke/Peacock recording studio, Robertson took the opportunity to acquaint himself with some of the musicians who recorded there. At the same time, in his late teens, Robertson played in a band in various bars of his Fifth Ward, Houston neighborhood. In 1982, Clifton Chenier heard Robertson's band playing at the Crosstown Blues Festival. Robertson moved back to Louisiana, learned to play slide guitar, and toured for several years in the 1980s with Chenier. Robertson contributed to his Live At The (1982) and San Francisco Blues Festival (1985) albums. After Chenier's death, Robertson played with Rockin' Dopsie, appearing on his Crowned Prince Of Zydeco album (1986), and Terrance Simien & the Mallet Playboys, before going solo. In addition, Robertson's guitar work appeared on Paul Simon's Graceland album, and he was on the bill at the 1994 Notodden Blues Festival. Robertson's I'm the Man (1994) was the first release on the Code Blue label. It was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award. Robertson's follow-up, Here & Now (1995), included his cover of the Tracy Nelson song "Here & Now". However the record label folded and Robertson re-appeared in 1998 on the independent label, Audioquest, with his next offering, Going Back Home. In November 2005 he released Guitar Man - Live with his new backing band, BluesMove.

I Wonder Why - SHERMAN ROBERTSON

My first solo recording, I'm The Man (Atlantic 1994), was nominated for a Blues Music Award (formerly the W.C. Handy Award). My second Atlantic release, Here And Now, brought me more critical recognition. But I was convinced I would have more promotional support and artistic freedom from an independent label. Producer Joe Harley and my manager, Catherine Bauer, assembled a first class back up band (including Little Feat charter members: keyboardist Bill Payne and drummer Richie Hayward) for a project on the AudioQuest label. The sessions at Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, California, resulted in Going Back Home. Blues Revue said of the album: "Potent singing and sizzling guitar... Robertson is unstoppable." Guitar Man - Live (2005) was recorded at the Kwadendamme Blues Festival by Mark Nijssen.

I Wonder Why - SHERMAN ROBERTSON

I was born in Beaux Bridge, Louisiana and raised in Houston, Texas. In high school, my music teacher, Conrad Johnson, recruited me to play in his popular group, Connie's Combo. I quickly earned a reputation as a very good guitarist. While still a teenager, I was blessed to spend six weeks on the road as lead guitarist for the legendary Bobby "Blue" Bland. That experience gave me the confidence to form my own band, Sherman Robertson and the Crosstown Blues Band. We recorded two albums on the Lunar II label. During the 1970's, I was content playing weekends while raising a family and holding down a "regular" job until Clifton Chenier, "the King Of Zydeco," asked me to do some dates with his band. Those few dates turned into 5 years, as I toured Europe and U.S. with Chenier. I then joined Terrance Simien's hot, young zydeco band, playing with Rockin' Dopsie and Johnny Clyde Copeland. Another big opportunity came when Paul Simon asked me to record on what would become his blockbuster Graceland album. Soon after, I signed with acclaimed British producer Mike Vernon (Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie) for Atlantic Records. My first solo recording, I'm The Man (Atlantic 1994), was nominated for a Blues Music Award (formerly the W.C. Handy Award). My second Atlantic release, Here And Now, brought me more critical recognition. But I was convinced I would have more promotional support and artistic freedom from an independent label.
