Well, I went out to YouTube to check out the Rosebuds. I love finding new music. I also like Gillian Welch, some Cowboy Junkies, love Lucinda and Steve Earle (all names that came up in this thread).
Unfortunately I did not like what I heard from The Rosebuds. Here's what I got out of the 3-4 cuts I tried, "Hey look how clever I can be with my lyrics". "See how smart/artsy I can be?"
Nope, didn't like it, not one bit. Reminds me of my feelings toward Patricia Barber and Lambchop. Yes, there is talent there and a few outstanding songs. But generally, way to pretentious for my taste.
Maybe I just don't get it? Regardless, there will be no Rosebuds in my rotation in the foreseeable future.
