Influence and Sound
Robinson was greatly influenced by The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers Band, Neil Young, and Led Zeppelin. But he has also cited John Fahey and English folk guitarist Nick Drake as influences. Robinson often employs open G in many of The Black Crowes’ songs and has also used open E, B♭, and G♭, giving Drake the credit for his use of open tunings.

Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or sound:
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Dignity takes alarm at the unexpected sound of laughter.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
