“Boardwalk Empire Volume 1 : Music From The HBO Original Series” (Elektra) won the GRAMMY® award in the category of Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. Featured among the album’s tracks is Loudon Wainwright III’s take on the traditional “Carrickfergus”, with arrangement and accordion by AIA’s Rob Morsberger. Congratulations, Rob, on this tremendous achievement!
Rob is currently touring select venues, and you can see his schedule here.
“Morsberger animates these songs with a nervy intellect, sounding at times as angry and gruff as Tom Waits, then as absurdly prescient as Randy Newman and then as darkly solipsistic as Bob Dylan.”
Respected critics have weighed in with early raves for esoteric rocker Rob Morsberger’s brilliant new CD ‘Ghosts Before Breakfast.’
In her USA TODAY Listen Up Music Pick, Elysa Gardner highlighted the mournful song “Cobblestones,” praising it as an “exquisitely plaintive postcard from a lonely foreigner”
And, in his expansive write-up via syndicated tastemaker outlet BLOGCRITICS, veteran critic Jack Goodstein said the album is nothing less than “true art.”
