Robinson Island is either a setup of land along the Kenyan coastline or a 5-mile by 500-meter portrait of deforestation and corrupt politics.

Can't shake blues: Sumlin returns from semi-retirement; Familiar tunes Hometown blues legend Hubert Sumlin may not be a household name, but odds are that you've heard a few of the blues and rock classics Sumlin has played on. Recordings that feature Sumlin's patented Chicago blues style include: "Killin' Floor": A traditional blues number immortalized by Howlin' Wolf, whom Sumlin backed for 27 years.
