Robert Burton Hubele a writer and performer of original blues-jazz, and a storyteller, has a catalogue of experiences as varied as the stylings of his bluesy jazzy songs. Always a songwriter first, Hubele has created his ninth cd release, Highway of Dreams, a collection of dynamic travelling romances. As a songwriter Hubele writes about ordinary things that become extraordinary with just a little extra care. Robert Hubele’s earliest influence was the earthy beat and emotional impact of the blues as he played along with recordings of B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, and Freddie and Albert King. His introduction to jazz happened through Chuck Tracy, a veteran lounge musician. Listening to Chuck rehearse, Robert got turned onto music from Tom Waits, Mose Allison and Fats Waller, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan. There is an inevitable country influence in Robert’s music, which comes growing up in the prairies with the songs of Hank Williams, Hank Snow, and Marty Robbins.
