Geez, it's been too long! Anyway, there's something really beautiful about authentic country music. What we now call cosmic American music/americana. It's raw, it's pure it's full of soul and that's all a breath of fresh air in our current music scene. I'm glad to see kids of my generation getting into this genre, as fun as the likes of Lady Gaga, Rhianna etc. are, our society is in desperate need to find real music. Music, not beats jumbled together into something that's not an abuse to the ear; we've become so accustomed to this type of sound that we consider it music. Music includes the ability to play an instrument, and being able to write deep insightful lyrics. This has been lacking for quite some time if you ask me. So discovering Caitlin Rose today was super exciting, her songs are beautifully powerful and she has a lovely voice. She reminds me a lot of Jenny Lewis, so if you're into her you'll probably like her sound. Except, maybe Rose is probably a bit more country than Lewis; I think because she grew up in Texas (I believe) and Nashville, whereas Lewis is from Los Angeles, very different music scenes. I've been reading some articles on her, and it seems she's inspiring hope to Americana/Cosmic American Music fans; it seems she'd make Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris proud. Though, frankly I'm myself am still a baby in the my Americana knowledge so I couldn't really say. Whatever the case, check her out I think she'll be a future great.... well that might be going too far but she is promising to say the least.Her debut 7-track EP Dead Flowers is out now.
