After her debut album Loango charted in bluegrass and Americana in 2010, Nell Robinson was named one of the most "utterly charming," "freshest voices" in roots music, and likened to early Emmylou Harris and Hazel Dickens. Nell returns with her anticipated 2nd release with more of her original compositions, On the Brooklyn Road, titled after the red clay dirt road that led to her family's farm in rural Alabama. The album was selected on many of the folk, Americana and bluegrass "Best of 2011" lists.
