On I’ve Never Been Loved, we see an artist who has honed his craft in many nights in rough and tumble blues clubs around the Windy City. This is back alley blues in the same style of Magic Slim, Hound Dog Taylor and Lil’ Ed. The uptempo blues shuffle “Chicago Lakefront” is so true to the Chicago style that I could feel the lake wind-chill all the way down here in Arizona. Robinson’s guitar sounds best when he’s playing it with his slide, as on the Elmore James-inspired instrumental “Robinson’s Rock.” “Baby How Long” is similar to Wolf’s version of the same song, but Robinson’s voice is cleaner than Wolf’s. The only other covers on I’ve Never Been Loved are a pair of Hound Dog Taylor numbers, “My Baby’s Comin’ Home” and “Sadie,” both which again show off Robinson’s mastery with the slide. Listening to this CD might inspire you to hop the next flight to Chicago for the kind of blues that you just can’t get anywhere else in the world.
