Everything was legendary with Robert is from Dave Graneys 2014 solo album FEARFUL WIGGINGS. 

The album has been a year in the making. Very minimal art pop in approach. This dynamic track leads us into it. Acoustic guitar, bass xylophone (like a Marimba) and thrilling percussion. Wild pop dynamics, the voice right out front like a 60s Country star should and massed , reverbed harmonies.

“Everything was legendary with Robert”

Who is Robert? Which Robert? Was he legendary or did he just make it so? Is that the same thing?

“it was good-when he talked to you- he really talked to you – he was always ON – In the moment!”

An elusive Pimpernel/Withnail  type figure. Dave Graney writes a song in a Ray Davies style. With a Bo Diddley / Latin feel.  

The recording features Dave Graney on driving acoustic, twin harmonizing electrics and bass. Clare Moore on percussion and bass xylophone. 

“his riveting self-consciousness drew you in/ a crowd gathered to see what he was lookin’ at/ talkin’ about’/ everything was legendary with Robert…”

The last few years have seen Graney and his band the mistLY blowing the roof off of small clubs with the jaw dropping electric guitar pop jams. .FEARFUL WIGGINGS is a new scene. A little folky - a little jazz in the chordings. A lot of countrypolitan in the vocal register and level in the mix. Drama, of course, and grooves. Kind of pop.
