Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Although deemed to be "country" by the majority of conclusion-jumping non-American eardrums, acclaimed Essex-based but Massachusetts-born songstress Eileen Rose is more of a musical itinerant, a square peg whose much-anticipated second album Long Shot Novena stubbornly refuses to get acquainted with any conveniently pre-labelled square pigeonhole. The opening number, the striking title-track, is proof enough--a hypnotic, dirge-like entreaty which somehow summons visions of Emmylou Harris in her prime performing "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground. However, this isn't a litmus test for the rest of the album, which proceeds divergently through the teasingly quixotic and possibly satirical pop of "See How I Need You" ("Ooh to get a man, six feet of heaven with big strong hands") through to the Bob Dylan-esque dream of "Two In One", the purgative and poignantly minimalistic "For Marlene" (written for a murdered friend) and the freewheeling good-time stomp of "Big Dog", a tune which takes a certain liberty with "Amazing Grace" and which finds our homesick Eileen homeward-bound with a valedictory wave of her hankie. Other than the voice--as dark, smoky and crackling as a good coal fire--Rose's prime virtue is that she always keeps her influences at arms length, so much so that you'd never guess who they are. Long Shot Novena is a worthy successor to her debut, Shine Like It Does. --Kevin Maidment
