Al Rose
Naked In A Trailer / Whitehouse Records
[Rating: 4 oil cans]
If folkie Al Rose led a heavy metal band, he would truly be dangerous. As it is, his acoustic
guitar approach makes him, if not dangerous, an eccentric curiosity. He can turn an
experience with his TV remote control into a stream-of-consciousness religious experience.
Throw in some weird eastern percussion, quirky arrangements and lines like "I saw the
future of network news / The anchor was a high school girl topless and tattooed" and you
have one strange mix. Not for everybody but then neither are you....
