'House by the Railroad' Album Is Autobiographical Journey for Artist
- 1. 'House by the Railroad' Album Is Autobiographical Journey for Artist By Christopher Roberts, Universal Music
- 2. Introduction • As president of Universal Music Group’s Classics and Jazz Division, Christopher Roberts is credited with keeping the company’s label competitive despite decreased sales in the industry sector. During his tenure in Universal Music’s Classics and Jazz Division, Chris Roberts has overseen Decca, Philips, Emarcy, Verve, and Deutsche Grammophon. Christopher Roberts also produces original music, including the 2015 release titled “House by the Railroad.” His first solo work, the album is the culmination of spending more than a year caring for his ailing parents in Portland, Oregon.
- 3. House by the Railroad • The music, which is inspired by his family history, is autobiographical while touching on grand themes such as life, love, and hope. The first track, West by Northwest, reflects on how Roberts’ mother left Massachusetts in 1950 to join his father in Portland, Oregon, where he was later born. The music is a creative interpretation of how his mother felt on her long train journey west to start a new life.
