So many times, hearing a particular song can catch us off guard and set us back emotionally when we’re trying to move forward after divorce. I saw this advertisement for an album by Charlie Robison that charts his emotional path from the shock of divorce to his ultimate recovery from it. I thought, “how comforting for a divorced person to have music to accompany him on the emotional journey from the pain of divorce to the joy of a new life ahead………….
If there’s such a thing as a happy divorce record, Charlie Robison may have recorded it. “Beautiful Day”, the Texas country singer-songwriter’s first studio album in five years, explores the emotions he felt after the disintegration of his nine-year marriage to fellow country musician Emily Robison, a Dixie Chick.
In a 10-song cycle, six of which are from his pen, the 44-year-old Robison travels through anger, sadness, hope, resilience and liberation. The disc ends on a jubilant note with a rocking cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Racing in the Street.”
