ROSIE THOMAS

Artist / Band: ROSIE THOMAS
Song: PRETTY DRESS
Album: If Songs Could Be Held
File Under: Indie Pop
Label: Sub Pop
Info: Careful listeners will recognize Rosie’s lilting vocals from her appearance on Damien Jurado’s Ghost of David (that’s her singing on “Parking Lot”) and on last year’s Badlands: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska (she and Damien duet on “Wages of Sin,” lending a rare validity to the term “bonus track”). Now, she’s showcasing her own songs, and in retrospect, picking the newcomer for the daunting task of a classic Springsteen ballad was no mistake. Songs like “October,” “Charlotte” and the traditional-based “Have You Seen My Love?” fit right inside the mood she so effortlessly conveyed on “Wages of Sin.” read more from the source...
