Classic Rock said "It's the songwriting that shines through."
R2 described "A Time and Place" as "A dynamic, hugely enjoyable album" and
commented on Robin's vocals as "coming from the same rough hewn place as Tony Joe White.". They also described the band as "tight as the proverbial..."
Guitar and Bass called the album "wholesome and satisfying.".
The Sheffield Telegraph commented that on the song "Tell Me", "Vocals stray into Solomon Burke territory, a juxtaposition against the whisky-laced singing of the track's album counterparts.".
On his guitar playing, Grahame Rhodes of bluesinthenorthwest.com commented that the album is "dominated by his fiery, fluent guitar work, and ably assisted by a fine band, from the cream of the Steel City – and all self-written bar one track by bass player Danny Fox.".
Rootstime.be described his guitar playing as "corrosive".
Guitar and Bass observed "Sheffield bluesman steps up to the plate with a steely tone and a suitably big band."
Robin is "Sheffield's favourite bluesman" according to acclaimed British bluesman King Rollo.
The band play "Outstanding contemporary blues" - Neil Ramsden.
"So damn cool!!" - Paul Ewing.

Robin Hoare is entering a vibrant phase in his career with the release of his new album “A Time and Place”. The album features ten original songs which show a strong vision for his blues. The songs tell it how it is about today’s world from the credit crisis to online gambling addiction. As well as being a contemporary blues story teller, Robin is one of the most distinctive blues guitarists working today. He improvises fluently on his trademark Guild guitars and his live shows feature close interplay between him and gifted bass man Danny Fox. Whether he’s kicking it with his regular trio or a bigger band a Robin Hoare show is a blues feast taking in flavours of funk, jazz and rock. If you’re tired of the same old same old blues this is the man to see. As respected Sheffield journalist Bill Auckland puts it “Robin honours the blues tradition without being a slave to it.” Blues to help you get down not to get you down.*************************************************************

Hi, Thanks for visiting our MySpace site and being our friend. We hope that all is well in your life. Black Angel released our third album in two years on Earth Day April 22, 2009. It is called O’ San Francisco. We asked Tiffany Lowe, granddaughter of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash (and daughter of country singer, Carlene Carter, and British rocker, Nick Lowe) to sing on the album. The top picture below is of Tiffany in the studio recording with us. The album is dedicated to a close associate of Black Angel who recently died who was a big Johnny Cash fan. We also have former Johnny Cash drummer, Danny Darling, playing on the album. We hope to be touring soon and we may be playing shows with former Black Angel singer, Audrey (Mrs. Ike) Turner. The bottom picture is of Black Angel playing at The Roxy in Los Angeles a few years ago with (left to right): Tomeka Haywood; me; Audrey Turner; and Ronnie Turner (son of Ike and Tina Turner on bass). Please check us out when we come to your town.

Hi Robin, good to hear from you. I find I'm very rarely on here these days what with terrible connection problems and having my new phone to check emails and forums from, but which is quite labour intensive to post with! I hope you're well - looking forward to the summer break? We had a glorious weekend here, it's been scorching. Aynsley has just done 4 nights supporting Lynyrd Skynyrd and is clearly still flying from the expreince. We've had some fantastic reviews from new converts on the forum and now I'm just looking forward to seeing a blog from the man himself. Take care mate x
Great sounds, Robin! When are you coming to Panama City, Panama? Rod Richards and I just released our new CD, CHEMICAL INTERACTION. Hope you have a minute to give it a listen on my player . . . Hasta Luego!
Ahh you have the van!! How exciting. My life is currently fairly boring, with little to report other than im revising and writing german oral exam presentation. rather dull... But thats where guitaring comes in! :) keeps me sane.
Did i tell you i found out where abouts in germany i am next year?... Hamburg! North west, right where i wanted. Thing is though, thats all i know. Grr. Hopefully hearing from the school before end of july, fingers crossed!
Glad to hear you are well
Take care, will def see you over summer
Lotsa love
