Influences .. ..
Sounds Like“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.”- Ernest Hemingway "Sombre, imperious, awash with lush orchestration, gospel choirs, and poignant songs of yearning and redemption - Pilgrim Road sounds like a magisterial career high for Robert Fisher's ever mutating collective". - Allan Jones UNCUT "Fisher has a voice that has all the gravity of a Cash, a Cohen or a Cale" Uncut "The sound is epic, florid, grandiose; the mood dark; the achievement great" Time Out "WGC are reminiscent of The Band in all their gothic pomp" Mojo “While a lot of the album has a late night, soul-searching feel, there are also choir-based tracks that have an almost ethereal, spine-tingling beauty… There are diamonds of wisdom in the gravelly voice of Willard Grant Conspiracy's Robert Fisher.” –Scotland on Sunday “Is there music that's almost too beautiful, too calm, too awe-inspiring for this world? If so, you can hear it on "Pilgrim Road", Robert Fisher's masterpiece. “-Musikexpress

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM's MySpace Profile Editor! Willard Grant Conspiracy is the musical collective that surrounds songwriter Robert Fisher. With their last five records (Regard the End, Everything's Fine, Mojave, Flying Low, and 3am Sunday At Fortune Otto's) and their brand new album Let it Roll, the band has quietly gone about putting together one of the most impressive catalogs in the alt.country / post punk-folk rock genres. The records have been met with critical acclaim and have been included in many critical best-of lists. The band has a loose configuration that allows its members to be involved as they are available, in order to support all of their musical and life interests. But make no mistake--this is ensemble playing and a real band no matter how many participants are present. Currently based in the California desert where Robert lives, musicians from Massachusetts, Arizona, New York, London, Holland, and Japan are all part of the whole depending on who can play, when the playing begins and where the tour ends. This flexible lineup along with a dedication to improvisational playing ensures that every show is truly unique.

Hi Robert and Eric,
Despite the flu and a guitar that wouldn't say in tune, your set in Roepaen NL on October 11 was one of the best I have seen for a long time. And lightning effects for free. Thanks a lot.
