Details:
Between full length records, Raina Rose, had a few extra songs she wanted to get out of her path. She asked her friend Bruce if they could record them in his living room, just voice & guitar. Bruce said yes. Then Raina carved out a stamp that says "blackwater" and she stamped 200 stumptown arigato paks... Only 200 of these albums have been made.
Raina's 4th full length, titled "When May Came" is on it's way, so in the meantime, please enjoy "blackwater".
Here is a review of Raina's 3rd record, "End of Endless False Starts":
End of Endless False Starts
performing songwriter magazine

Raina Roseâs new disc, End of Endless False Starts, features some fine acoustic-guitar picking from this Austin-based artist and, with its rootsy undercurrent, will certainly perk the ears of folk-pop enthusiasts. But its collection of musical novellas is really what sets this album apart from Roseâs singer-songwriter contemporaries, as these 12 stories enrapture the listener from first play.

Roseâs vocal style, a mix of Kasey Chambersâ country twang (âDesireâ) and Shawn Colvinâs girlish tone (âAir and Waterâ), serves as a fine vehicle to relay each vivid tale. Her melodies unleash a torrent of words, and her highly visual sonic portraits run long, sometimes up to six minutes, like the slow-burning, moody âMisaligned Tires.â

End of Endless False Starts requires the listener to tap the brakes and tune in. Itâs not mindless, groove-oriented stuff here, so an appreciation for poetry is a prerequisite. âLCB
