Must investigate more - like an Australian Ani diFranco with less vigour...

This is an incredibly beautiful experience although probably in a very tough and difficult moment of your life. I express myself quite badly in English and it sounds naive and gross, but I do understand how important it must be in such dark corners to find an echo in somebody else's story. The lyrics of this song will definitely have a different meaning for me now.
I very much hope you are in a better place these days.

I couldn't say, I do not know
Could you point which way to go
I am lost, I'm a victim, I'm a sinner in my soul
I'm a poor wayfarin' stranger
I have nothin' left to lose
I have fallen down the mountain
Wretched righteous, flesh for fools

A definite Dolly Parton soundalike, but luckily not a tenth as cheesy, so just about listenable, which is saying a lot seeing as I loathe C&W with a vengeance.

Robinella is a bit of a local phenomena here in Knoxville (I think she plays weekly at Barley's). Nice to hear her get some wider exposure at RP!

Woo-hoo!  This song was on my "to be uploaded" list for a while now... never seemed to get around to it.    Thanks to whoever uploaded (or to Bill if he found this on his own).

I also think it's sad she ditched the CC string band.  Saw them play many good shows together.  Times apparently get tough when you tour A LOT with your husband (best friend?) and brother in law, I guess.  Anyhow, that whole situation is a shame.  She sounds good solo, tho— wish her the best.

Ah, I finally found out why the chorus seemed familiar:

"I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed"

Not quite the same, but similar enough to make bang my head every time I heard this song and couldn't remember what it reminded me of. All that head-banging makes me forgetful, so I'm archiving this here for next time {#Cheesygrin} .

Nice song.
