Song(s) of the Day # 3,772 Rose Hotel

 

Sometimes it's a good idea to just follow a thread. This is the third Song Of The Day in a row from a list that Darren Jones sent me a few days back. I've come to trust his judgement and tastes. Here's another record worth cupping an ear to..

Rose Hotel is an Atlanta, Georgia based songer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jodran Reynolds and  a Pawn Surrender is her latest record. It's a warm immersive, emotive album that encourages surrender. I listened to it initially in a state of distraction trying to read something else. Eventually I found it demanded my full attention.

This is familiar territory musically. But sometimes we seek the familiar.  Rose Hotel is not a million mles from artists like Pearl Stone, Rosali and Liz Phair. this is a recommendation rather than a criticism. A warm, emotive recotd that presses for a greater sacrifice than a pawn surrender.

  1. Glad you've been liking them, Bruce! Sorry, it feels a bit like spamming, but I saved a lot up in my absence and wanted to share some with you... I've been following Rose Hotel for about 5 years now and really like her. The songs sneak up on you.

  2. It's definitely not spamming. I'm incredibly grateful Darren . My problem is that I don't have enough time to listen to these records as much as I'd like to. Just write them up. Check for typos if I have time and keep pushing them on and hope other people will listen to them too. A couple of good ones of my own discovery coming up but do keep the supply chain coming. I've started my albums of the year at 200 becuase I knew it wouldn't be remotely difficult to fill those slots either.
