Description

With a firm grip on the music, an eye on the future and one foot in the past The Rosinators have been lifting spirits and shaking dance floors all over the world. (see below for recent radio play and reviews)

"You guys (and gal) have flat got it"

Jack Bernhardt,
(anthropologist and country and traditional music correspondent for The Raleigh News and Observer, North Carolina)who writes:
" They have very eclectic tastes - Bluegrass, gospel, blues, Cajun tunes, and more, put together imaginatively and with lush harmonies and a wonderful spirit. I've about burned laser grooves in their CD since I arrived home.
It's a testament to the power of traditional American music that it resonates (no pun intended!) so strongly on the other side of the pond. The Rosinators adhere closely to the original sources while infusing their own thoughtful interpretive twists."

Twelve strong tracks on this enhanced format CD including the video "Cindys Breakdown" shot in london, the European radio releases "Old Joe Clark" and "Blueridge Mountain Blues", traditional Cajun dance tunes, and their trademark dark harmonies.

The Rosinators are playing at the UK Country Music Awards on Friday 6th of February, hosted by Southern Country magazine. the Band have been nominated the the Hotdisc single of the year category.

Bryan Chalker
Radio Caroline (Europe)

"Roots Music in Europe is alive and well as long as
The Rosinators keep recording music like this.
This is a wonderful CD to listen to. Country, Bluegrass,
Gospel and a bit of Folk on this 12 song release.
Positive and skillfully performed. American Roots
Radio stations should love the Rosinators."
Roots Music Report (Texas, USA)
review

"WHEN I FIRST PLAYED THIS CD, I HAD
TO CHECK THAT this was an all British line up.
The band plays with such simplicity, clarity and
authenticity that I thought they must have ancestral
roots going back to the Blue Ridge Mountains at
least.....The three members of this band show what
can be done by letting their undeniable talent and
the simplicity of songs speak for themselves....I can
tell you that I am sent many CDs for review but only
a few make me want to play them again and again.
This is one of the few."
Cajun Life & Times Magazine (July '03)



"...a goodtime classic....an infectious and satisfyingly
listenable set. The band's approach to the material is
vibrant and dynamic, and they do some tasty things with
the vocal harmonies too....everything they tackle comes
across real natural."
David Kidman - NetRhythms
