notes
10 beautifully recorded and arranged songs on this follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut album By The Blue...
Rosie's wonderful vocals ("a truly amazing voice that resonates Billie Holiday and Rickie Lee Jones, yet still manages to sound distinctive..."), floating on gorgeous and intricate acoustic and electric guitars, a big double bass sound, lovely soprano and alto saxophone, splendid drumming on a minimal kit, and some lush Rhodes, Hammond and grand piano.
All enveloped in delicate, textured, cinematic arrangements (featuring strings, vibraphone, oboe, trombones), lavishly produced by Bernd Rest, and mixed and mastered to the highest standard.
For reviews and more information, go to Rosie's website www.rosiebrown.com (link on the left).

Sophisticated but earthy. Repeat plays are a certainty!
author: Jay DunnerThis continues the folk-jazz hybrid that Brown perfected on her By the Blue debut. Reminiscent of Rickie Lee Jones, but without the drawl. Brown's writing is sophisticated, but earthy. The arrangements are varied, never monotonous, and complement the lyrics perfectly. This disc makes repeated plays a certainty!
Record of the year!
author: Richard BashfordStunning second album from a very classy singer. Beautifully crafted songs and and great interplay between the instruments. Fantastic arrangements and the production is crystal clear. Haven't stopped playing it and it just keeps getting better.
An exceptional record!
author: J HowardThis is truly wonderful... What a voice, such skilled arranging and fantastic instrumentalists. Catchy songwriting too - I haven't stopped humming "Late Light"... You'll love this CD.
