Thank you Joe for this introduction to Rose Cousins. Listening to her sing on this album reminds me of the first time I heard albums by Laura Nyro and Carol King. She is simply amazing. As she described making this at home, there is an intimacy that comes through her voice on every song. I am so happy and grateful to have discovered her voice and song writing today.
