Robbie Robertson Recruits Trent Reznor, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith for LP
With his first solo album since 1998’s modern rock homage to Native American music, Contact from the Underworld of Redboy, former the Band guitarist Robbie Robertson will add a few more famous names to the collaboration section of his 5-decade-long rock resume. In addition to longtime friend Eric Clapton, Robertson has recruited post-’70s stars such as Trent Reznor, Robert Randolph, Tom Morello, and Taylor Goldsmith (whose band Dawes released an excellent debut last year) for How to Become Clairvoyant, a 12-track solo LP due out in April.
According to a press release, Robertson notably addresses his departure from the Band with the song “This Is Where I Get Off.” Preview a different cut, “When The Night Was Young”, here and check out the tracklist — alongside my personal favorite clip of the Band performing back in the day — below.
