CD Reviews

Completely Brilliant!
Herman Jacobs | 05/05/2002

"What a stroke of luck! I discovered Eileen through The Rookie soundtrack (bad film, great album) and now I just can't get enough. She has such a beautiful voice. And what a songwriter. Deeper and more wonderful than Ryan Adams or any of the other new pretenders. Really, you have to try it."
Solid Follow-Up to Shine Like It Does

"No sophomore jinx here."Longshot" shouldn't disappoint anyone who fell in love with Rose's first offering. Among the best on this release is "Good Man," in which Rose uses the poetry of everyday life to make new that same old story of a woman who can't quite give up on a man who doesn't deserve her. The difference here is that this woman isn't living in a dream world. Yes, she would live in a dream world and lie to herself if only she could, but she knows all too well that her lover will never change his ways. And it's exactly because she knows him for who he is that we know her love is real."Good Man," like much of Rose's music, draws upon the perspective of a no-nonsense blue-collar up-bringing. There's no smooth coat of varnish to pretty-up these songs. But neither is there the usual artificially applied layer of pseudo-sophisticated cynicism either. About life as it is really lived--with joys and heartbreaks intermingled and sometimes indistinguishable--Rose shows plenty of wit, fortitude, and subtle insight."
