We Still Go To Rodeos

• We Still Go To Rodeos

A sultry country classicist with a tremble in her voice, Whitney Rose is partial to the magisterial gestures of the 1950s and 1960s. Following in the tradition of Patti Griffith, Alejandro Escovedo, Joe Ely, and others who use place as an essential element of their music. That place could be East Texas, West Texas, Houston, or Dallas - it's a big state that contains multitudes - but one that is quintessentially Texas. The sound the young singer-songwriter has crafted for herself is entirely Texan twang.
