Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Dualtone) - It's taken five years, but according to the critics and the charts, Charlie Robison's CD Beautiful Day has been well worth the wait. Four Top 20 chart positions, including iTunes' Sales Chart, and slots on Billboard's Current Country Album Chart (No 33), Indie
Music Chart (No 47) and overall Country Album Chart (No 50) have been fueled by unanimous critical praise for Robison's Beautiful Day.
All have a raved: 'A lyrical masterpiece' (The San Antonio Express-News), 'Robison's pain is the listener's gain' (The Oakland Press), 'Beautiful Day, beautiful music' (AOL) and what might be the highest of praise, The Boston Globe's comparisons of Beautiful Day with Willie Nelson's Phases and Stages' and Tom Petty's 'Echo'.
While Robison's last album found him celebrating wedded and domestic contentment as husband to Emily of The Dixie Chicks, Robison's Beautiful Day explores his divorce, which was finalized in August of last year. There seems to be no question that Beautiful Day is a CD of deep and rich emotional music for anyone who has ever lived, loved and lost.
'In the past most of my songs were stories written from a third-person perspective,' he explains. 'This is the first album where I'm writing in the first person and as you hear the record you'll know what was going on with the divorce,' Charlie admits.
Robison's last album and label debut for Dualtone Records, Good Times, solidified his position in country music. Good Times racked up what were at the time the best sales of his career, and the video for the single "El Cerrito Place" was a Top 10 Hit on the CMT Network.
