CAITLIN ROSE Dead Flowers (2010 UK strictly limited edition 7-track
10" vinyl mini-album - Hailing from Nashville, 22-year-old Caitlin Rose
is no ordinary country singer. Blessed with a startling, precocious
native talent, a silvery, bell-clear, brilliant voice and crucially, an
undeniable charisma along with defiant songwriting style all her own.
A precursor to a full length album due later in 2010, 'Dead Flowers' is
a distilled taste of Caitlin Rose, with the help of Andy Wilkins on pedal
steel guitar, Zach Serchfield on guitar, Bob Grant on mandolin, and
Travis Collingsworth on bass. Her two cover versions are the title
track, The Rolling Stones 'Dead Flowers' turned into a forlorn,
pedal-steel infused ballad and an elegant, torch song take on Patsy
Cline's 'Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray'. Elsewhere we find bare
knuckled honky-tonk on the teenage pregnancy tale 'Shotgun
Wedding', tambourine-led acapella on the ever-so-sassy 'Gorilla Man',
while on the lovelorn lament 'T-Shirt', Caitlin shows a songwriting
ability well beyond her years!)**Strictly Limited to 500 Copies ONLY**
