#57 Robin Lane — The Duality Of Life And Art
Robin Lane started out her songwriting career early, as the daughter of Ken Lane, who wrote songs for Dean Martin.
She has collaborated with members of Crazy Horse and sang with Neil Young on "Round and Round (It Won't Be Long)" on his album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.
After a two-year marriage with future Police guitarist Andy Summers, She formed Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, integrating punk and new wave with West Coast folk, and East Coast rock. Their rock radio-charting song “When Things Go Wrong” became the 11th music video ever played on MTV on its first broadcast day in 1981.
Robin has opened for artists including John Hiatt, Taj Mahal, Steve Earle, T-Bone Burnett, and Richard Thompson. She accepted the Boston Music Award for Outstanding Female Vocalist in 1988. Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles) recorded Robin's song "Wishing on Telstar" for her first solo album, When You're a Boy. Robin also sang on the album.
In 2010 Robin founded Songbird Sings, a Shelburne Falls, MA-based organization dedicated to helping people work through and recover from traumatic experiences by writing and recording their own songs.
Her new album Dirt Road to Heaven is a collection of Americana music. Robin’s motto of “Music is my healing tool” has paved her uniquely uplifting “dirt road to heaven” process from start to finish.
