An example of his best solo work yet, ‘Zone One’ features 11 new songs full of wit and charm that highlighting Rob’s unique perspective on life. In 1996, Rob postponed his solo career and left behind a vast following that had gathered from releases such as the hit song ‘Beautiful Girls and Beautiful Boys’ and a succession of other popular albums. In the intervening years Rob has been playing with Ruck Rover.
