Paper

Paper is the debut solo album from Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson. This album contains brand new material along with songs that were initially written for Robinson's 2002–2003 project, Hookah Brown. Robinson handled guitar, bass, and other instruments as well as taking over the lead vocals, with the gaps being filled in by Joe Magistro (drums), Eddie Harsch (keyboards, credited as Eddie Hawrsch), Donnie Herron (fiddle, violin) and his son Taylor Robinson (percussion). Track listing "Yesterday I Saw You" – 3:22 "Enemy" – 2:56 "Leave It Alone" – 3:43 "Know Me" – 4:01 "Forgiven Song" – 3:36 "Veil" – 3:36 "When You Will" – 5:18 "Places" – 7:12 "Begin" – 4:16 "Falling Away" – 4:13 "Baby" – 4:10 "Oh No" – 3:40 "Answers" – 5:09 "It's Over" – 5:13 Reissue In late 2015, Robinson signed a new record contract with Eagle Rock Entertainment, who would be releasing the album he planned to release in 2016. As part of the deal between the two, Eagle Rock agreed to re-release Robinson's back catalog, beginning with Paper on February 26, 2016. This proved to be somewhat of a challenge for Robinson, as the master tapes for the album had been significantly damaged during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. As a result, all of Robinson's original vocal tracks had been erased. Thus, Robinson was forced to return to the studio and re-record his vocals in order to reissue the album on schedule. "At first I was like, 'Oh, shit. While I'm making my new record I also have to re-sing Paper?'" Robinson told Billboard magazine in 2016. "But it was cool in a sense. We got in the studio and put 'em up, and I was like, 'Man, this fucking thing sounds great!'"
