Well, I couldn't keep away from such a thread, Steve, could I?

Robb's "Gentlemen" double CD with himself plus Roy Bailey singing (and a Belgian lady whose name I just forgot) is his best, in my book - and in my top three albums of all times. Listen to it, and I dare you not to think, cry and laugh all in the same song. And above all, he has taken such care in the writing of the music and lyrics...as the story unfolds from the 1910s to the 1970s and today, the language and music reflect the period at every step of the way.

A masterpiece.
