Al Rose is a slightly off-center acoustic singer/songwriter who throws in a bit of gospel and folk with his skewered approach. A little hysterical as a vocalist, Rose writes lyrics like a deranged mental patient wandering down the street spouting epitaphs that either fascinate passers-by or makes them recoil in horror. Fave cut: 'We're Going Down', Rose's eyewitness account of an airplane crash that's hilariously entertaining.
