Play 90 second soundbite of '$20 Shoes' @ 'CD quality'
steamin' friggin' hot and leaving bloody great blisters on anything it touches, 'At Our Tables' is a work of modern genius, a 'soundtrack' of distinction, a piece of twenty-two carat gold modernistic nu-country/indie rock. Yep, 'At Our Tables' is rock-on, rock-solid - fanbloodytastic! But, don't just take my word for it, get yer arse out there and get yourself a copy of this remarkable work!
Rose doesn't simply blur genre, Rose bends genre, manipulates the rules, knocks down and crushes ideology, sets new standards - she just does it her own way - and, what a way it is!! Think what Stevie Nicks would sound like if the had a more robust delivery and a darker intonation to her voice. Then think what Nicks' Fleetwood Mac would've sounded like had they really taken the trouble to err on the country blues side of light rock. Now think twenty-first century blues-tinged nu-country and you'll be getting somewhere close to Eileen Rose's blissfully beautiful musical world.
Rose delivers her songs powerfully but manages to maintain just the right degree of emotion and believability. This is one hell of a 'singist'!! Rose has a distinctive voice and delivers her songs with true female balls something along the lines of an impassioned P J Harvey. This lady knows how to emote, this lady understands emotional vocal dynamics, this lady is pretty much as good as it gets!! And, don't think that Eileen Rose is only a pretty face and a great vocalist. Oh no, this lady is a songwriter of the highest calibre and she quite obviously knows her way around a guitar and a piano. Eileen Rose is the complete package. And, to give herself the kind of support she deserves she's pulled together a whole shed-load of stunning musicians to assist here - the result is a very special album of breathtaking nu-country songs, performed with total commitment and true professionalism. A wondrous piece of work that you'd find it difficult to criticise or find fault with.
'At Our Tables' by Eileen Rose & The Holy Wreck comprises ten stunningly delivered studio tracks and a second disc re-visiting seven of those tracks in the live 'theatre'. And, disc two, the live one, really gives you the feel of what this fantastic artist can do and you'll be amazed just how good she is 'in the flesh'! The whole thing's beautifully assembled and impressively packaged - what crackin' value and what a stonkin' album - one that would grace any collection anywhere! 'At Our Tables' by Eileen Rose & The Holy Wreck is a superb album, surely a 'must have' work for anyone who appreciates 'proper' modern music. Absolutely bloody brilliant!!!
