Album Focus: Hat Fitz & Cara Robinson

Answered by: Cara Robinson

Album title? Do Tell

Where did the title of your new album come from? It was named after one of the songs on the album about a fridge of Fitzy’s. It had been in the family for some time and so became almost a signature piece on every gig.

How many releases do you have now? Between the two of us we have three releases.

How long did it take to write/record? It was a process of a several months writing and believe it or not just three days in the recording studio studio with Jeff Lang.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? As we had to have a year off because of a car crash it was totally inspiring just to be playing again with mostly freedom from pain.

What’s your favourite song on it? Mine is Fitzy’s self-penned Long Dark Cloud. It’s deep and yet wistful.

When and where is your launch/next gig? Brass Monkey, 14 Nov; Katoomba RSL, 15 Nov; and The Vanguard, 16 Nov.
VIC: 8 – 9 Nov, Bendigo Blues & Roots Festival; 22 Nov, Caravan Music Club; 23 Nov, Thornbury Theatre
QLD: 6 Nov, Solbar, Sunshine Coast; 27 Nov, New Globe Theatre; 29 Nov, The Arts Centre Gold Coast
