Rose Cousins - 26 July 2006

Rose Cousins was my guest on today's show. We talked about and played a few tracks from her new album, If You Were For Me, and she played a few new songs- live, in the studio - including my request for her fine cover of "I'm On Fire".

PEI native, Rose Cousins, draws from the folk tradition of storytelling with honest and compelling lyrics, matched in quality by her effortlessly pure vocals. She has the subtle assuredness of a songwriter with a keen sense of emotion and intelligence, poetry and eloquence. Her evocative storytelling, subtle guitar and captivating vocals leave audiences silent and affected every time.

The release of Rose's highly anticipated full length album If You Were for Me is scheduled for Sept 6, 2006 in Halifax, Nova Scotia after which she will tour the album through the Maritimes, Québec and Ontario.
