Song(s) of the Day # 3,852 Oh Rose

 

More grog for Starbuck methinks. For several years now Darren Jones, First Mate of these parts has been chucking tasty morsels fot the crew of  It Starts With a Birthstone to feast on at the Captain's Table. On a regular basis .

Here's one of his latest wonders. Dorothy from Portland Oregon's Oh Rose.  Written in tribute to Olivia Rose, their lead singer's late mother. Yes, Rose.

There's clearly a deeply personal narrative at work here which may lead to listeners investing no end of time and emotion in  here. It strukes me as a record whuch would fully reward such investment. 

It's a Folky, dreamy and celebratoryexercise and  tribute. Not shrouded in grief but transcendence love and joy. It's a rather lovely record actually. A close cousin of Katy J. Pearson 's Sound of the Morning. And a marvellous, emotive and layered lalbum in its own right.

  1. Yeah, I really like this, Bruce. I came across her with the last album, but there has been a bit of a gap. I like the variety of musical styles on this one, which still manage to hang together. And some lovely songs, too.
