"With this album I honor many of the pioneers of true American music," writes Duke Robillard in the liner notes. "From close to the beginning of recorded music to the 1940s. This is the time period I love most and find a never ending river of new music to discover, enjoy and be influenced/inspired by. This recording concentrates on music written and recorded in the ‘20s to the ‘40s with the exception of some original songs and Robbie Robertson's 'Evangeline' which sounds like it could be from that time period!"

"Rich In Love," Colin Linden's new project, sparkles with his talents. His singing is fresh, emotional and touching. The songs take you through lustful encounters, remorse laden retrospects and forlorn longing. While the music takes influences from blues, country rock and roots. And then there is the playing, where every guitar pluck, subtle drum sweep or organ solo from this consummate musician and his band, adds to his stories. It is truly a captivating package; a polished roots diamond; a treasure to reflect and restore with.
