2010 debut album from the Nashville-born singer. Caitlin appeared amidst a whirlwind of praise at the start of the year with her stunning first offering, the critically acclaimed Dead Flowers EP. Produced by Mark Nevers (Lambchop, Will Oldham and Andrew Bird) at the Beech House in Nashville, Own Side Now is sheer perfection, drawing further on her love for the female greats such as Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac's 'That's Alright' gets a delightful airing here) as well as those from a pure Country lineage such as Patsy Cline, and firmly places her in the same league. Dead Flowers showed the budding of a ripe talent, but this time around she has a seriously talented full band to assist in elevating Own Side Now into a different class. Names.




Add Nashville's Caitlin Rose to the ever-expanding list of American artists finding more welcoming arms -- and critical acclaim -- across the pond in the U.K. and Europe. While her new album Own Side Now draws stellar four-star reviews in London ("more than lives up to expectations...lovely stuff" -- Q, "major star alert" -- The Guardian) and gets an opening slot on the current Deer Tick U.K. tour, we wait patiently for a U.S release. Young singer/songwriters with a twang and an appreciation for alternative and traditional country styles (and who don't fit into the Nashville star-maker machinery) too often get neglected or pigeonholed. It's a shame, too. The fine, promising Own Side Now deserves greater exposure -- even in her own backyard.

Produced by Mark Nevers (Lambchop, Andrew Bird), Rose's debut has the classic rural tones of a Patsy Cline but this is a distinctively contemporary album in both lyrical depth and brash defiance of any particular one-note style, steering clear of the generic blandness infecting much of Nashville's current output (what Rose calls 'Broadway bullshit"). There are country/pop elements of Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt along with a version of the Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks song "That's Alright". Uptempo kickers ("Shanghai Cigarettes" - video after the jump) sit aside shimmering acoustic gems (the quietly majestic title track). But it was the moody, atmospheric six-minute epic "Things Change" that sealed the deal for us, a song that ebbs and flows with a stately grace and Rose's unaffected vocals.
