I was given a gift card for Barnes & Noble at Christmas and I finally got around to going to the B&N in Grapevine this weekend. I spent some time in their music section and came across a group called Robinella & the CC String Band. They’re pretty hard to classify as they mix jazz, bluegrass, and country.
I ripped the CD to MP3 as soon as I got home and I’ve listened to it several times now. I’m still enjoying it each time, which is a good sign.

Ever hear of Allison Brown? She does what sounds like the same thing. If your B&N has the computer search thing you can look her up and listen to samples. She’s cool.
I hadn’t heard of her before. I listened to some of her samples online, though. Her music reminds me a bit of Nickel Creek or Alison Kraus and Union Station. From what I heard, though, she doesn’t do her own vocals (although I admit only listening to a limited sample).
Robinella is the vocalist for this group and her voice and style remind me a bit of Alison Kraus and Katherine Whalen (from Squirrel Nut Zippers).
