Chilton, Alex: Songs From Robin Hood Lane (Vinyl LP)

From Robin Hood Lane collects a number of songs Chilton recorded that he most likely heard growing up there. Some are previously unreleased, some are rare. All were previously out of print. Several tracks were produced by Ron Miller. He met Chilton in the late 1970s when they both lived on the same block in New York City. Chilton was trying to get a solo career going on the Max’s-CBGBs circuit after the demise of his band Big Star.

The album is filled out with tracks from Chilton’s 1993 album “Clichés,” that finds him working up beautiful, solo acoustic renditions of standards like "My Baby Just Cares For Me," based on the piano version by Nina Simone, and “Let’s Get Lost,” the song that became the title of a documentary film about Chet Baker that returned him to the international spotlight in 1988.

The album ends with a song called “What Was” that Chilton probably first heard on a 1979 movie called “The Late Show,” starring Art Carney and produced by Robert Altman.
