first time i encountered rosie brown was with the incredibly funky "bliss" which jazzanova put on off their compilations. i love that song and there has been times where i'd listen to it in repeat but apart from it i haven't really dug deep into her catalogue, until a little awhile ago. someone gave me a heads up on "mega fauna" off her latest album "strange recollection" and it was short but equally funky as "bliss".
the album itself is a decent affair but i was looking at from a different state of mind as most of it is folky blue-eyed soul but i was looking for downright funky material. after giving it the old college try i did like this track "blow the man down" as it there was some groove to be found. you had to let the intro with it's wistful horns and rosies vocal introduction go on and then there is something that was a mixture of jazz, folk, country & soul
and the end result turns out really nice.while i don't know what the song is about as brown sings quite lowkey in her usual ways, it is quite interesting musically.
buy here (itunes)
