Valerie's own Genre!.......2004-08-18

Celtic, Folk, Rock, Pagan, Gothic and then some; Valerie Rose has created her own genre of music and I just love it. I gave it a "4" rating because although I love the songs, the album is just too short. Just as you're getting into her voice and songs, poof----it ends. Please Valerie, give us more!

Soon, please........2003-07-09

There was a flash of recognition the moment I put Valerie Rose's debut CD, Petals of Stone, into my stereo. As I listened, I was reminded more and more of the vocal quality of Annie Haslam, former lead singer of the progressive folk-rock band Renaissance.

There are also shades of Maggie Drennon, late of Sixmilebridge, in Valerie's powerful soprano singing. Valerie, a sultry singer and fiddler from Northern California, also shares the aforementioned ladies' passion for mixing punchy, ballad-style singing with edgy rock arrangements for a potent musical package.

Alas, Petals of Stone is only a too-short EP, with six hard-rockin' tracks spanning just over 24 minutes. That was just enough to whet my appetite and left me wanting more. Soon, please.

This is an interesting album. Valerie mixes angelic vocals with driving base rhythms. Cool version of "For Your Love".

Valerie Rose has shown that the powerful melodies in folk music of the British Isles can be mixed delightfully with rock and roll. She ain't the first, and she definitely borrows from June Tabor, Maddy Prior and company on Petals of Stone. But she is original and referential in her similarities, not an imitator. The album has 6 tunes. My wife and I, both consumers of Isles trad. arr. music of many kinds for many years, liked five of the six songs a lot. The production of the CD is good, allowing Ms. Rose' truly fine vocals to shine through. Her side-folks include the under-famous Preston Carter on bass, and solid guitar work by Phil Campbell (also the producer). One track even has Kris Yenney, one of the best cellists anywhere, particularly working outside the classical box. This brief CD has held it's spot on my turntable for a while against a lot of competition. Buy it.

The cutting sweetness of this album sends chills up my spine every time I listen to it. Valerie Rose's voice will penetrate your senses. Her arrangements will surround you and then leave you longing for more. With this talent and beauty, I am confident that Petals of Stone is just the first of many great Valerie Rose albums.

Soulful, & easy to listen to. I love your voice, & enjoy your music.

Thank You............2000-05-27

I hope you don't mind a review of your new CD... The entire album is wonderfully easy to listen to. The vocals are smooth, clear and full of feeling.. The lyrics are beautifully composed and the vocal phrasing of the performance enhances their message. Specifically, I found my "top" four to be: How I Wish...great hook..I found myself singing along the second time I listened to it. Rose Petals...Full of emotion and thought provoking; seemed sincerely heartfelt. Any Love...very soulful...the song draws you in as you listen. When Love Comes Round the Bend...my personal favorite...love the arrangement and vocal style. I hope this endeavor meets with the success you hope for, and that it is the first in a line of beautiful creations recorded by you! Thanks for sharing your music with us...
