ROSE, JACK - Kensington Blues

2008 VHF vinyl version of Kensington Blues, the fourth full-length release from JACK ROSE (PELT). This is Rose's most diverse outing by far, with straight ragtime, heavy 12-string, and that sweet, sweet Weissenborn lap guitar all checking in. Honed during endless touring in 2004, the repertoire here is delivered with maximum authority in a series of first-take performances recorded in early 2005. Eight tracks, including a fine cover of John Fahey's Sunflower River Blues." - VHF
