From the very start... My Mom, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Young, James Taylor, Cat Stevens... Later... Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Clint Black, Brooks and Dunn, etc, etc, etc, and always ELVIS!!! There are so many artists whose work I treasure... just not enough room here to list...
Well, what does someone do when they have been writing songs all their life, hundreds of songs, shared their music with only family and friends, had a demanding professional life not in music, and then one day realize time is passing? It has been less than 2 years since Robin began to share her music online. She has been a Singer/Songwriter of the heart since she wrote her first song at 9 years old. While her professional life took her elsewhere through the years, her music has always been waiting. In 2007, Robin decided it was "Now or Never" and bought a home recording studio, taught herself the basics of recording, then began arranging all her songs, adding backup, multiple instruments and harmonies, all simply just Robin. With more than 3 decades of songs she has written, she recorded 70+ of her songs in 2007 and 2008, and has hundreds more waiting for her. She also has continued to write new material. It has long been overdue for Robin to deliver her music that has been known and loved through the years to her family and friends. The most important thing to Robin is, she will never regret in years to come that she didn't share all of her songs with you.
Robin is thrilled and honored to be asked to be a part of the "A Wish for Country Charity CD". Her song "Waiting For Sundown" is on this special CD produced by Philip Watson of Moiko Records. She joins other talented Country artists in helping to make dreams come true for so many precious children. Proceeds from the sales of this CD will go directly to the "Make a Wish Foundation". Please join Robin by purchasing this CD and being a part of granting a child's wish. Your purchase will be so appreciated.

My name is Robin Lee Field, and I was born into a family with wonderful music roots in Southern New Hampshire, and blessed with a mother whose beautiful voice still gives me chills to this day. My mom and dad had a Country&Western band when I was young, called the Westernaires...
Both my older sister Karen and I, at ages 8 and 6, performed with my parents at various fairs and venues in New England, all decked out in traditional western dress. We were backed up by Gracie, our cool steel guitar honky tonk aunt, and a full band, with this emcee fellow named Ralph, who had a french accent and was quite a character! I had a younger brother Jeff too, but he wasn't ready yet to join the band. In years to come he would become the best rock drummer I have ever heard. We also had a radio program on WOTW that would air at 6 am and we would listen every morning all excited about hearing ourselves on the radio! Those were the good times...
It wouldn't be long before I picked up a ukelele, then a guitar and wrote my first song. I was nine years old and felt a burning need to express my innermost feelings in the shape of words and melody... My home life was full of turmoil in those days, and gone were the sweet memories of the Westernaires. My parents had a very painful marriage with all the images one can imagine... no need to say more... and I found I could take my silent feelings of pain, loss, fear, and anger and have them come to life and comfort me in the essence of a song.
I continued to write songs and when I was older, I began playing at coffeehouses in New Hampshire and later Massachusetts. My songs were my personal expressions, and my heart at it's deepest level. Words I couldn't come to say, and feelings I couldn't share with others would all be said in my songs. My style as a teenager, was growing into a blend of country and blues, contemporary and folk with influences from the 70's like Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Dylan, Neil Young, James Taylor and Cat Stevens. I also had a great attraction to ELVIS songs and the Memphis sound, but I was always the biggest fan of my Mom and still am today.
She played professionally, 6 days a week, for years at the Wagon Wheel in Massachusetts, a New England mecca for Country where big names performed there all the time. It is sad to me in some ways that she never wanted to "make it" in the music industry, because her voice is such a gift and the world should hear her. Barbara Mandrell once came to the Wagon Wheel in the 80's, and after hearing my mother sing, she asked her to go on tour with her, but the answer was a firm NO. If you knew Joanne Jones, you would indeed know why. She was never one to compromise herself, but most definately was and is a Star in the purest sense to me... It is so important to acknowledge my mom in my biography, because the gift of music I have been given, came from the woman who gave birth to me. And any person I can touch with the songs I have written, is a testimony to how I have been touched by my mom and her music.
Throughout the years I continued writing and creating, never losing my heart connection, and playing out from time to time, here and there. While my professional life took me in other directions, my music was allowed to develop at it's own pace and time, always a precious gem to me. You can hear the country background in alot of my songs, but also the blues, rock and roll, pop, and traces of the acoustic folk I loved during the 70's. My song collection is really the journal of my life, from heartfelt ballads to up tempo country rock, the music flows from an inner place that feels magical to me, like a rain storm that begins to pour, with rays of the sun shining through... and every once in a while... a beautiful rainbow...
It is time for me after all these years to finally share my songs with you. The most precious gift I could ever wish for, would be to touch you in some way as I have been in my life...
The songs that you will hear were recorded at home by myself. All harmonies and instruments on the recordings are me, except of course for the drums! All songs have been registered and copywritten with the Library of Congress.
Thanks so much for listening... Warmly, Robin
My Star and My Mother The Lovely Joanne Mary Jones

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Onto so much nice pictures, I would need him-, your exceptionally unique sound let the my miniature studio be a picture already here, where music is playing steadily ! I love it the special one, not average sound, than yours, splendid voice! Bye, Edith
Thanks dear Robin, the Easter high days pass by well, I am well if I do not care about my troubles (because of that ...) ! When you come to step up onto Budapest ?- we sing a good one together :-) I like the good music and the special rhythms and the superb dance in rain if it sounds my IPOD my ear ! Edith
Hi Robin, I would teach you to sing in Hungarian with pleasure, I am skilled at the music a little (I finished in a musical high school and we had a musical training on the college) Many artists tried to sing in Hungarian already (Freddy Mercury here, on Budapest..., sweat over it well, but was cool) Edith
G'day Robin, several of my Joan Baez friends are fans of you and to be honest I had not heard of you until Edith in Hungary made friends with you-so I just had to check you out, and wow you are fantastic. Gorgeous voice and I just loved your guitar playing, I play a little guitar, but was wondering what the heck some of those chords were going up the neck of the guitar-fantastic. I live in Melbourne Victoria Australia, and I'm thrilled to be your Myspace friend.
