Dana and Susan Robinson “…Many songwriters, such as Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp, have been heralded as modern-day Woody Guthries or keepers of the American rural spirit, but that mantle might be better entrusted to musicians like Dana Robinson who embody both the heart and the soul of folk music.” –Dirty Linen LISTEN
