Boston's (well Saugus actually) Eileen Rose recorded her third album at the infamous Long View Farm in North Brookfield, MA on the outskirts of Worcester county.  This was legendary when I grew up for having the Stones finish Tattoo You, hosting Aerosmith & The J. Geils Band as well as the Bad Brains I Against I album.  Lots of rock 'n roll history there.

This album was given to me in a stack of promos by Katherine DePaul when I was doing some booking work for the Wildflower label.  This particular release was an American issue a couple years after release by a UK label called Banana put it out.  Katherine was managing director of Wildflower,  owned by Judy Collins.  Most of the work I did was booking The Saints tour in the Northeast and I had a few other projects including murdered Iranian songwriter Ali Eskandarian.   Blows my mind that only 15 years later Chris Bailey and Ali are long gone.  Anyway, I didn't do any work for Eileen Rose, but now I'm listening to her third album a few times now.  She seems to have alot of Boston Rock stalwarts in her circle.  Rich Gilbert of the Zulus sticks out but he's not on this record.

Eileen on this record handles a territory of Americana somewhere between Melissa Ethridge and Emmylou Harris circa Wrecking Ball.   Her material is a bit more piano driven for my taste but there was a track that I liked called "Compass" where I thought the piano worked well.  The other two standout tracks for me were "Saffron & Ginger" because of the tears in the garden line as well as "Never Be The Same" because Davey is the person the song is being sung to.  

As for the rest, there seems to be quite a bit of post-drinking contemplation going on whether you "Stagger Home" or attend the "Last New Years Eve."  The grand finale "Time To Go" the lyric starts with leaving the bar slowly.

Contemplating more or transition to something else?
