MORE PRESS on Caitlin Rose's Dead Flowers EP...
From TwangNation.com:
"The love of country's history exhibited immediately with the EP's packaging and on the first cut of the Dead Flowers EP. With 'Shotgun Wedding" Rose sings the tune with a Smokey Mountain lilt over Bob Grant's excellent mandolin . "Answer In One Of These Bottles" takes it's place with another classic narrative of drinking to forget Rose then shows she has the pipes to take on the Patsy Cline classic Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray as she covers it with all it'sforelorn beauty. Docket is a quirky Kris Kristofferson -style solo-guitar number that is perfect Summer listening and a lone tambourine accompanies the whimsical Gorilla Man brings to mind ShelSilverstein play on words."
From the Murfreesboro Pulse:
"With her latest release, Dead Flowers, Caitlin Rose is well on her way to success with her mix of dirty, old-fashioned country and innovative blues feel...The overall instrumentation is almost a cosmic sound, taking the listener to the crossroads of blues and country. Rose brings together a pure, dynamic sound throughout the album, piecing together a beautiful vibrant tone with a generous attitude. The album is at times naked and bare, revealing a softer, sensual side to Rose, yet at other times the album is powerful and driving, revealing a sad but true meaning within its content.
Rose is more than just your typical next door country gal full of folk and blues influence. Her music is full of imagery and emotion and her observations of Southern life remind you of the life you never hoped to lead but always were curious to know."
