Introduction

Welcome! to the online liner notes for my album, A Long Way From Home: the second of a planned quartet of mini-albums, all with their own unique sound. If you are new to my music and especially this album project of mine, you can check out the first album of the series here - http://robweissmusic.bandcamp.com/album/breaking-through-the-glass

"A Long Way From Home", unlike its more power-pop predecessor, is the heaviest statement I've made, both musically and lyrically. I wanted to capture a pure, almost uncompromisingly gritty rock sound. I also wanted the lyrics to be the most honest and direct I've ever written. 

If you like what you hear, you are highly encouraged to purchase the album to add to your ever growing record collection. You'll be supporting local music, and ensuring that my three years of tireless work so far on these albums has paid off in the end. You can stream the entire album and/or purchase it right here - https://robweissmusic.bandcamp.com/album/a-long-way-from-home

This album would not be possible without the consistent support of my family. In addition, a special thank you to Cisco, Kelsey, Josh, David, Cass, Noreen, Alex, Jeremy, Melissa, and any friend of mine who has been supportive of this project since its inception. Finally, a special thank you to Dr. Dennis Spencer, without whom, this project would have never happened in the first place.
