HAPPY BIRTHDAY to singer-songwriter Robin Zander, exemplary front man for the legendary Cheap Trick. I can’t imagine life without the first 3 Cheap Trick albums, and I said as much to Robin when I met him in 2011. At the time I was the touring bassist-vocalist with The Monkees. We were wrapping up a show in St. Petersburg, Florida. As I was unloading at our hotel, Robin Zander and his wife pulled up. I introduced myself and he asked if he and his wife could visit with everyone. We chatted and walked to the bar, where Micky Dolenz was waiting—he and Robin knew one another from prior gigs, and I was happy to be listen in on two of the great all-time rock’n’roll tenors talk shop.
Vocally, I always thought of Robin as a noir punk/New Wave update on great rock’n’roll frontmen, with the swagger of Mark Lindsay and the power and range of Roger Daltrey. Years ago I made a list of my Top 12 role models as vocalists, and Robin is on that list. For me, if anyone needs to study “how to front a band,” study Robin! There are obvious Cheap Trick clips I could post (check out their 2016 single “When I Wake Up Tomorrow”), but I’m zeroing in on Robin’s 1993 solo album. HB RZ and thank you for your light.

________________________
Freeborn Man
Songwriters: Keith Allison and Mark Lindsay
I was born in the Southland
Some twenty odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
I got a lady in Cincinnati
A woman in San Antone
And I always love the girl next door
But any place is home
I'm a freeborn man
Home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
And I got me a worn out guitar
I carry an old tone sack
And I hocked it about two hundred times
But I always get it back
I'm a freeborn man
Home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
Well, you may not like my appearance
You may not like my song
You may not like the way I talk
But you sure like the way I'm gone
I'm a freeborn man
Home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track
I was born in the Southland
Some twenty odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
Home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track

“Silver bird, fly my lady away,
Silver bird, take her over the bay,
Silver bird, give my lady a ride,
And let her go see what's on the other side,”
