While the Narrows takes an early summer break for a couple weeks, it's time to prep for shows coming up in the second half of 2005.
Rosie Flores will be visiting us July 23. Though she is well known, many may be unfamiliar with her work.
To remedy that, we grabbed this review of her latest CD off of Rik's reviews (excerpted):
Rosie Flores - Single Rose
So, you're in a smoky bar room on a Saturday night, the entertainment arrives and gets on the stage. You pay little attention as you think you've heard it all before. Maybe you have, but not as captivating as Rosie Flores. Standing alone on the stage armed with simply an acoustic Taylor guitar, on Single Rose, Rosie Flores proves that she doesn't need anyone else to put on an incredible show.
Shining throughout the CD, Rosie Flores lays out her brand of alt. country. If this CD were recorded in the 70s, it would have given Loretta Lynn a run for her money. The material is not dated, simply a roots feel that catches your attention with a stellar show, humor, and feeling.
Single Rose showcases the charismatic Rosie Flores in her natural environment. Stating "I'm having the time of my life" prior to "West Texas Plains," you can hear that Rosie Flores is truly having fun.
You'll find yourself playing this CD more and more as it seems to get better with each spin.
