Rob Launches New Record Label
Rob is launching a new record label, Outsider Music Records Co., to distribute his solo material. "'Outsider Music Records' is the perfect name for me because, not only do I thoroughly enjoy outsider music, but I am an outsider artist myself!" muses Rob. "While my music does attract a certain niche audience, I doubt that it would have enough general appeal to give it commercial potential on a massive scale." Look for his cover of Synchronicity II on digital download sites in the coming weeks and his solo CD early in the new year.
Friendly Rivalry Heats Up
Gibson Guitars recently stated that "there can be no doubt that Jeff Waters [who produced Rob's last project] is among the most important and influential metal guitarists of our time."
