Rouse and Rosebud

Being back in Parmelee was amazing. Much of the journey was blogged on MyUnderground, and Brandon posted several times throughout the week as well on his personal blog. Once we get all of the pictures from the week together, we’re going to put together a video, and I’ll upload it to YouTube once it’s finished. A sincere “thank you” to all those who were praying for us.

I didn’t listen to much music during the week, but when I did, it was Josh Rouse’s new album, Subtitulo. I wrote about Rouse in the first Music of the Month post last September, and when I heard he had released a new album, I got it immediately. It is amazing. It’s so good that I was compelled to write a review of it on Amazon.com, the first I have written for the website. Here’s what it says:

Josh Rouse, I believe, is one of the best unknown singer-songwriters out there today. Subtitulo, while both mellow and upbeat, is a culmination of everything he has done to date. As I listen to this album, I constantly find myself astonished how seamlessly he has integrated sounds he honed on 1972 and Nashville into a distinctly Spanish setting.

Every song is a gem, my favorites are the cool “Summertime”, the catchy and familiar “It Looks Like Love,” and the almost Egyptian-sounding “Wonderful”. This album is a must-have.

Subtitulo is, I believe, my first official album of the summer.
