Robinson was greatly influenced by The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers Band, Neil Young, and Led Zeppelin. But he has also cited John Fahey and English folk guitarist Nick Drake as influences. Robinson often employs open G in many of The Black Crowes’ songs and has also used open E, B♭, and G♭, giving Drake the credit for his use of open tunings.

“Blame but thyself that hast misdone,
And well deserved to have blame;
Change thou thy way so evil begun,
And then my lute shall sound that same:
But if till then my fingers play
By thy desert their wonted way,
Blame not my lute.”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
