Storyboard Album Review by Nick Milligan - Reverb Street Press

Troubadour Bob Corbett has been receiving a swag of praise lately and Storyboard is the reason why. He calls himself a folk singer, but that title doesn’t do justice to the eclectic nature of these songs. Shifting from pop to alt-country, and then back through roots, reggae and blues, Corbett’s thread is sublime melody and emotional sincerity. Like the great Australian story-tellers (Paul Kelly et al), Storyboard is consistently excellent and insightful. What particularly impresses are some of the rhythmic vocal arrangements, like the a cappella finale, ‘The Prettiest Face’. Check it out. Nick Milligan
