| | The hotly anticipated Luck In The Valley arrives in the shadow of | |
| | the desperately sad and untimely death of Jack Rose, who passed | |
| | away at the end of last year. This posthumous release is a | |
| | typically inscrutable outing for an artist who seldom put a foot | |
| | wrong throughout his short yet prolific career. This album finds | |
| | Rose surrounded by friends, taking a tone that's somewhere | |
| | between that of his usual outings as a lone six-string slinger | |
| | and the more raucous, group-based work with The Black Twig | |
| | Pickers (who make an appearance on this album, incidentally). | |
| | First track 'Blues For Percy Danforth' is a lapsteel raga that | |
| | reveals Rose's playing technique in all its effortlessness and | |
| | expressive fluidity, taking the precise and dexterous picking | |
| | techniques of the American Primitive style and infusing them with | |
| | the kind of articulations you'd associate with sitar music. 'Lick | |
| | Mountain Ramble' is more of a group effort, representing a joyous | |
| | Appalachian hoedown, whereas 'Woodpiles On The Side Of The Road' | |
| | is a more melancholy, solo blues number. The tone of the record | |
| | is in a continual state of flux, exploring the various textures | |
| | and temperaments of vintage American music, switching from the | |
| | honky-tonk goodtime romp 'When Tailgate Drops, The Bullshit | |
| | Stops' (complete with barroom piano and harmonica accompaniment) | |
| | to the almost Mariachi-like feel of the Latin and flamenco | |
| | influenced 'Tree In The Valley'. Aside from his not | |
| | inconsiderable technique, you might argue that what absolutely | |
| | singles him out among his peers is the sense of classic ragtime | |
| | rhythm he's able to command. The title track serves as an | |
| | especially wonderful example of this, perfectly distilling the | |
| | essence of a hundred-year-old artform and making it sound like a | |
| | perfect fit with 2010. Similarly, Rose takes on covers of pre-war | |
| | classics with commendable authenticity and swagger, the closing | |
| | 'West Coast Blues' (originally by Blind Blake) proving to be an | |
| | especially glorious and fittingly rowdy finale to the album. It's | |
| | painful to think that this is the last we'll hear from Jack Rose. | |
| | He was one of the only post-Takoma guitarists of his generation | |
| | you could consider to be truly great, and Luck In The Valley is | |
| | an exemplary vessel for his craft, perhaps demonstrating more | |
| | broadly than on any of his prior works the fullness of his range | |
| | and accomplishments as a musician. | |
