The electric rock "side" of the GONE SOUTH digital single (the other "side" is an acoustic roots version) by Nashville guitar slinger-songwriter Mark Robinson. Recorded with some of Music City's finest, released in 2015 by Blind Chihuahua Records.

Gone South is both electric rock and acoustic roots because Robinson recorded two versions of the song, and he’s releasing them simultaneously. In the tradition of classic vinyl 45s, the digital single Gone South has two “sides”: one electric rock, one acoustic roots.

The idea to record it two ways came to Robinson while he was writing the song—hearing it in his head not only as a hard electric rocker but also as an acoustic roots/Americana tune. His go-to rhythm section of Daniel Seymour on bass and Justin Amaral on drums had no problem digging in to both arrangements, since they themselves play with a wide range of Nashville cats, from Americana heavyweights Tommy Womack and David Olney to alt-country’s Chuck Mead and roots rocker Paul Burch. Then Robinson called upon the considerable talents of Michael Webb (Poco, John Fogarty) on B-3 and Rick Schell (PinMonkey, Pure Prairie League) on backing vocals for the electric rock side. For the acoustic roots side, he brought in rising country singer Luke Amelang on backup vocals and The Steel Drivers’ Richard Bailey on banjo.

Though best known in recent years for his blues-rock albums, Robinson is no stranger to Americana and roots. He has played with stalwarts of the rock-roots scene such as Tommy Womack and has produced albums for Americana/alt-country standouts David Olney, Mark Huff, Ray Cashman, Davis Raines, and Tiffany Huggins Grant. In 2013, Robinson was voted “Best Americana/Roots Guitar Player” by the readers of The Alternate Root Magazine.
