Robert Jordan, a Boulder singer-songwriter who began his musical journey later in life, released his debut album Time Will Tell five years ago. His new album, Vincent and Theo, was recorded at Far and Away Studios in Boulder by Geoff Gray, an experienced engineer who has worked with notable artists, including Firefall.
Produced by David Snider, who has an extensive background in jazz and studio work, the album features contributions from Christian Teele on drums and backing vocals by Rebecca Abraxas. The album blends folk rock with upbeat rockers, jazz influences, and diverse thematic songs.
We deeply appreciate what Robert Jordan manifests with his work, and have added Song for Bob to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Vincent and Theo, and anticipate future releases from the talented creator.
