NOTES FOR A NOVEL has to be one of the purest forms of folk I have heard in a very long time … Robert Morgan Fisher embodies the richness and honesty of a true folk singer/songwriter. He really is a "Narrative Engineer.” You need to hear this album, it is astounding.

After listening to this record, this writer has come to the conclusion that Robert Morgan Fisher is the Hendrix of the written word.


from Wayne Slater-Lunsford / Folkworks Magazine
Robert Morgan Fisher is just that sort of genius, who knows when to shout and when to whisper. He does both in his new collection NOTES FOR A NOVEL, and for those who sit up and listen, there are many moments of beauty and affirmation, and even new understanding … This is one of those albums I’ll listen to again and again.


from Jerre Haskew / The Cumberland Trio
Robert Morgan Fisher is one of the finest singer/songwriters on the planet. These myriad songs are all woven together like a fine tapestry. Kissinger is a masterpiece! as are Jester King and We'll Buy A Flag. There isn't a weak song on this CD and Fisher covers the gamut in subject matter, stories and melodies. His vocal guests like Janis Ian are more than impressive. Just do yourself a favor and buy this great piece of music!

from Carl Funk / The Halyards
First, I have to say thus is one of the most beautiful, well realized designs I have seen on a CD in a long time. Love the artwork, and it suits the pictures which are created inside. As a writer/lyricist Robert Morgan Fisher uses words in ways few people do these days. Yes, the novelist's heart. Evocative and fearless, and I tip my hat to him. Just take a listen to Kissinger for confirmation of that. A great wordsmith and storyteller. The production is rich,  his voice is a unique instrument, and it all adds up to a style and musical experience that is different than the mainstream of what is going on out there. The musicians on board are all first rate. Check out the duet with Janis Ian. NOTES FOR A NOVEL ... it would make a great book. But it makes for an even better collection of music.

from Mark Humphreys / President, Trough Records
Fisher understands the immediacy and intimacy of studio recording, and his most fascinating work here - on the ballads - features a careful, quiet vocal presence and warm instrumentation that feels like a comforting whisper. Producer Chad Watson, who has worked with Fisher on all three of his albums, seems to have an innate spiritual connection with Fisher's intention here, expertly maneuvering each song around the twists and turns of story, commentary and/or tenderness as they approach, pass by and ultimately linger in the mind.


from Brent Harvey, Executive Producer / HMMA
Robert Morgan Fisher's new project, NOTES FOR A NOVEL, is a wonderful collection of prolific folk songs laced with thought-provoking stories, sprinkled with humor and irony … Kissinger is brilliant!  I strongly recommend this CD.
