Robert is a singer/songwriter and draws on a wealth of past experiences.
He first toured America with the black funk rock outfit The Blast
(later to become The New Order of Gypsys) playing lead guitar. More
tours and albums saw him develop his own songwriting skills which
enabled him to write and produce several tracks for The Gypsys albums.
As Robert says, "One of the best times of my life, very black
and very funky"
In November 1998, Robert invited lifelong friend Jason Scopes to
collaborate with him and produce his first collection of songs entitled,
'You're My Religion', paving the way and providing the impetus to
record two more albums under the name "The Smouldering Sons
of the West."
