The mixture of blues, jazz and pop of "Three Little Words" is some of the subtler music I heard in recent times, and it is also extremely pleasant and appealing as well as wonderfully sung and played. Therefore I did not hesitate to play that CD in my radio show of American folk and roots music and even if so far I only played a couple of tracks, as you can see from some recent playlists here enclosed, more will be surely aired in the next weeks!Massimo Ferro

Robert abilities can be appreciated not only on his performing but also on his natural gift as song writer with so suggestive tunes like ‘The Only One’, Your Baby’s Tears’ or ‘The Human Heart’. Robert Burton Hubele unpretentioulsy tells us from his own experience different stories about love and human conditon. always giving a positive message full of love, understanding and hope. VERY GOOD   

Setlist

My typical set list consists of eight (8) original Jazzy/Bluez songs,interspersed with my commentary and stories. That's followed by a break, then eight (8) more original Jazz & Blues songs. I sometimes include covers of Tom Waits, Fats Waller, Louis Jordan, Willie Dixon, Bonnie Raitt, Mose Allison, or Muddy Water's songs.
