Greetings, Dragon Clan. My first album dropped today on all the streaming platforms in the known universe. As far as I know. I am struggling to refrain from self bashing. It's good, and I need to believe and focus on that. My urge is to criticize myself and be my own worst critic. That thinking nearly prevented my music from ever seeing the light of day at all. I am an introvert. I am the type of dragon to hoard my treasure away in my cave and never come out except to feed. 

I announced the release on my social platforms today, told my family and friends.  I have gotten several congratulations from a few and a couple folks told me they listened to it. Everyone has been kind. I'm sure the trolls will eventually find me. It's frightening to come out of the cave and be visible and thus vulnerable. These songs are personal to me. They are about my interests and my life and how I feel about all those things that have happened in my life. Things I am proud of and things I am not. 

I am hoping to publish my lyrics here on my website soon. As far as credits, the album was produced by Bret Alexander and engineered by Paul Smith of the Badlees. I wrote all the songs, played all the acoustic guitar, and sang all the vocals. Bret played electric guitar, baritone guitar, hammond organ, mellotron,  harmonica, and mandolin. Paul Smith played bass. Ron Simasek played drums. The Badlees have had some national success opening for Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, and touring with Bob Seger and Greg Allman. I was in good hands to say the least. I am grateful for the work they put into my project and I really love what the final product sounds like. 

Just go to any of the streaming platforms such as Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple's iTunes, Amazon and Alexa, and Pandora. You won't need a link. If you don't have a platform, you can download an app for most of them for free. Spotify and Pandora offer completely free options with ads. Simply search for Rob Edenbo.

Please give the album a listen. I hope you enjoy it. It's only available on the platforms. No CDs or vinyl at this point. I am only wanting to find an audience who will appreciate my craft. The fractions of pennies that streaming pays will barley earn me a few cents. I'm in it for the love and thrill of sharing what I've made for you. If you are into dragons, magic and adventure; heart and gut wrenching pain, songs of love and passion, murder ballads, and exploring what is folk music and Americanna; this album is made for you. 

Love and Peace, Dragon Clan.
