Robbie Robertson: Making a Noise
Jeff Apter, nyrock.com, May 1998
WHEN ROBBIE ROBERTSON croons "I can't let go ... It's in the blood" during his transcendent new release, Contact from the Underworld of Redboy, he's speaking from the depth of his soul. This album is the latest and largest step in a musical journey Robertson began with the 1994 TV documentary, Music For the Native Americans, in which he first examined his Native American heritage. Ever the musical explorer, Robertson warmed to the fact that he'd tapped into a motherlode of creative possibilities.
