Released on indie label Oglio Records, Robby said of the album’s name:

“A singularity is a profound event such as the “big bang”, which was the creation of the universe. I could have started with something smaller, such as, say the destruction of a galaxy or two, but I figured what the hell. Hopefully, the music evokes thoughts along those lines.”

He went on to say of his latest solo effort: “I’m very happy, that after all these years I was able to record some flamenco guitar, which comprises the intros for two of the songs, ‘Russian Caravan’ and ‘Event Horizon’.”

He added,  ”I’m also very happy with some of the slide guitar such as on ‘Southern Cross’ and ‘Waterslide.’”

You can currently catch Robby on tour with Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek. Check him out live if you have chance. The man really is a guitar god and at 64, he’s not getting any younger.
