04 - Jack Rose

An artist gone too soon.

I'm not going to say much, as the music speaks for itself (and i'm a little busy right now), but Jack Rose is a phenomenal guitarist. He plays 6-string, 12-string, and lap-slide guitar using open tuning. It's a beautiful sound, and depending on the piece that can mean 'happy' or haunting.

Artist: Jack Rose
From: VA originally, PA mostly
Style: Inspired by Ragtime, Country-Blues
How I found it: His posthumous fame, NPR weekend edition did a feature in honor of his passing (12.05.09)
Favorite album: As 'Dr Ragtime & Pals' - (Self-Titled)
