If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores.....

.....it would be my pleasure to bring her to your attention. She's well known and respected by her peers, but has a disappointingly-low profile with the music buying public. I won't bore you with her long backstory, but this short conversation with Otis Gibbs should give you an idea of what she is all about:

@bdp24 ,

I believe you mentioned her a few years ago in a post to draw attention to her.

@slaw: I don’t remember that Steve, but like Rosie (see the below video) my memory has holes in it. I remember faces, but have a Hell of a time with names.

Here is part 2 of Otis’ interview with Rosie, in which she talks about The Palomino (the great C & W/Rockabilly/Punk club in North Hollywood. That’s where The Pretenders played in L.A. on their first USA tour. The joint was packed. I saw a LOT of shows there, and played there myself a coupla times.), Buck Owens, George & Tammy (Tammy Wynette was for years my favorite singer, so it was nice to hear Rosie express the same), Gram & Emmylou, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, many others. Great stuff!
