What a relief to report that song craft is alive and well in 2005. And by all indications, Eileen Rose carries the torch somewhere close to singlehandedly for the newest crop of singer-songwriters on either side of the pond. An exaggeration? Not in the least. Rising head and shoulders above most of her contemporaries whose personal musings pay no respect to that quaint notion called melody, Eileen's compositions are of a quality that should make more established heavy hitters take ready notice. John Lennon lamented that the first time he heard Dave Edmunds' "I Hear You Knocking" he was riled that he hadn't written the song himself. I contend that Stevie Wonder might feel the same way about Eileen's bittersweet but blissful "Never Be the Same." And I submit that had Elton John rendered "Ocean of Fire" he would surely find his performances of the anthem answered by a thousand flickering lights. And had Sara McLachlin penned "Saffron & Ginger" she would send audiences fumbling toward ecstasy all over again. On "Come the Storm" Eileen Rose combines Cohen-caliber lyrical gifts with Brill Building musical mastery. And the result is revealed ten times over on her third solo release, her first on Banana Recordings. So, as the question is begged by such exuberant praise of Eileen's craft, what is it that constitutes a great song anyway? According to Hank Williams a good song is one that you can sing behind a plow. Lo and behold, "Come the Storm" is fertile with songs you can actually sing behind the wheel.

I don't know why Eileen Rose isn't a huge megastar. Her albums have all been released to great critical acclaim, and Come The Storm shows her true versatility.
From the epic Ocean of Fire to the laid back, Sunday afternoon drinking with friends song Stagger Home, Eileen's songs show off her wonderful talent as a songwriter, and her vocal talent is second to none. She has the power to move this old cynic the way no other female artist can.
Everyone should have this album in their collection!

Another fabulous offering from this wonderful singer and musician. I struggle to choose which of her albums I like the best, but this is a wonderful problem to have. She's a talented musician and a great writer, but what I love most about her is her singing. She delivers an emotional wattage that just knocks the socks off me; hard to categorize but with roots in the blues among various other antecedents. Fabulous. Don't miss the other albums either --
