   About Tim Robinson
MONEY IN THE WOODS gets 4 stars from PASTE magazine!

PASTE's Amanda Petrusich had this to say: "... a beguiling mix of Greg Brown-style folk and thoughtful alt. country... As a lyricist, Robinson is consistently smart and unassuming, and both his vocals and arrangements are beautifully organic, as simple and inviting as a pile of freshly raked leaves."

Here's a link to a clipping of the whole review: PASTE REVIEW

There's also a new review in PERFORMING SONGWRITER.

Mare Wakefield says this: "... His easy delivery falls onto your ears like the cadence of a long-lost brother or favorite uncle, someone youve been longing for and never get to see enough, someone with great stories, someone you love."

Oh, and Performing Songwriter has now included "money in the woods" on their "best releases of 2006" list!

TIM ROBINSON: Money in the Woods

MONEY IN THE WOODS was also an '05 NEW PANTHEON MUSIC AWARD nominee!

Tim Robinson's literate but earthy songs traffic in neither high-flown linguistics nor mawkish romanticism; his is a direct, trenchant style that expresses the deepest fundaments of humanity in a strikingly original way. Robinson kicked around the NYC songwriter scene in the '90s, quietly soaking up experience and amassing an overwhelming cache of stunning songs. At last, his debut album MONEY IN THE WOODS allows the world at large to hear what Robinson can do. With guest appearances by everyone from staunch supporter Suzanne Vega to hot NY gospel-rockers Olabelle, MONEY IN THE WOODS is a dark, churning stew of folk, blues, and rock. While there's a musical kinship to such roots-conscious craftsmen as John Prine, Greg Brown, and Bob Dylan, the closest lyrical antecedents are literary figures like e.e. cummings and Dylan Thomas, men who shook up the English language and found a way to fashion it into something startlingly new. Robinson's unmannered singing style and raw, minimalist production aesthetic make MONEY IN THE WOODS eminently approachable, but once you enter into the world these songs create, you'll be whisked off down strange, knotty byways you'd never even imagined before. In the end, though, the pure heart and soul behind Robinson's gifted pen is what will make you return to those byways time and again, gleaning something new with each trip.

Suzanne Vega says this of MONEY IN THE WOODS: What can I tell you about this collection of Tim Robinson's songs? He is one of my favorite songwriters. You have to read his songs as well as listen to them to get just how striking his ideas are. The songs are witty and sometimes dark but never cynical. This album is the world reflected through the prism of an intelligent and original mind."

Acoustic Live says: If your tastes run toward the brilliant and vital, the slightly rough but entirely ready - think Dylan, John Prine, Lucinda Williams, or Steve Earle - then go out and get yourself a copy of Money in the Woods.

Thanks a lot, Tim! "Chuchotements" means "Whispered words". I honestly got lucky that the French words fit in the song. I had the idea for the lyrics before the translation.

Hello Tim,
Good to hear from you.
I've gone underground to chase around 2 little kids and try to learn how to play guitar and write songs....
You're still a handsome bastard, I see..What kind of skin cream do you use?
