Robin English''s Velvet Covered Brick packs hit after hit, with two top twenty hits in the Texas charts and more to come. From the humorous and thought-provoking rewrite of the classic "Mama''s Don''t Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies" to the rich story telling and gritty harmonica playing on "Cotton Field Girl," this album is deep with artistry and entertainment and well worth the investment.
In a storm of long, golden hair, Robin English mesmerizes her audience with gutsy harmonica riffs and her unmistakable sultry, powerful voice. " This Texas gal ... has been... gathering fans and believers in her wake " (Nashville Music Guide). Those who hear her, are blown away: " Robin English is a force of nature, " American Songwriter /Music Row Magazine ''s music journalist, Larry Wayne Clark.

Like many artists, Robin grew up in a musical family and moved to Nashville to pursue her dream. She and her band played in clubs all over town. She wrote over 500 songs with more than 130 songwriters. During that time, she joined a group called the Young Riders which included her friends Blake Shelton, Rachel Proctor, and Ryan Murphey. Before long, the buzz reached Music Row.
Robin signed her first record deal in 2000 with Sony/Columbia Records. Sony was so impressed with her production style, they asked her to coproduce an album with several acclaimed producers. During the following year, she recorded with Paul Worley, Kyle Lehning, George Massenburg, and Kim McLean. Her single, " Girl In Love " came out just three weeks before the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Despite the confusion of a nation in mourning and a label in disarray, "Girl In Love" was on GAC''s Top Ten videos and was on Billboard''s Top Single Sales for more than 8 months. After 5 downsizes at Sony which ultimately ended in a complete regime change, Robin asked to be released. She used this time to work on new music and bolster her efforts with her band. Since then, Robin has opened for many headliners including Clint Black, Hal Ketchum, Roger Creager, Will Hoge, Brad Paisley, Joe Diffee, Mark Chesnutt, and most recently, Willie Nelson. She also had the great honor of entertaining our troops.

Oermann of Music Row calls the single, " Moody, smoky, and sultry ," and he mentioned Robin as one of a few inde artists who are really " stepping up to the plate to challenge the major leaguers " (Music Row, 2006).
