Citywide Blackout

Robert Ellis Orrall’s band returns to the studio after 40 years


Listen Later

The year was 1986, and, perhaps unbeknownst to them at the time, Robert Ellis Orrall and his band recorded their final album together. Nearly 40 years later, the boys are back with “Wrong Thing,” a heartfelt collection of music that involves some powerful connections.

In this episode, Robert shares what it was like to reunite with the band and be back in the studio after all these years. We go into the different songs and the stories behind them, including “Crazier,” which Robert co-wrote with the legend Taylor Swift back when she was just starting out.

Robert and the band haven’t just been recording new music. They’ve been on stage as well and he talks about that experience and their plan for some new releases in the future. Around 20 years ago, Robert started Infinity Cat Recordings, and talks about the industry and its many changes over the years.

Closing out this interview is “When I Need To Feel You,” a song that really connected with me.
