Music Review: Rosie Thomas - With Love

Rosie Thomas is SO FREAKING CUTE!!!! Her facebook page includes some of the most adorable pictures of her around. Listen to her talk in this USA today interview.  She even has a comedic alter-ego named Sheila Saputo, who is her opening act!

See what I mean? She has that air about her that she isn't to be taken seriously. You almost expect her to do ditties on a ukulele and write very much in the style of Phoebe Bufay from Friends. Fortunately, I didn't find her websites first; the first thing I did was listen to her album.

She's not only a good folksy songwriter, she's an AMAZING songwriter! Her singing voice is gorgeous in these songs, and her back up band, dare I say it, Rocks. You go into the album expecting the usual Lilith Fair type of singer/songwriter, and instead, every song features something that elevates it.

"With Love" is her first release with Sing-A-Long Records, after releasing a few smaller albums through Sub-Pop. Her press describes this album as her being let loose into the real world. My sense of Rosie Thomas is that she's a sweet person, and genuinely wonderful, and on top of that, she writes amazing music, and is immensely talented.

Check out "With Love," and like me, you'll want to hear the rest of her catalogue.
