Now playing on 501 Soundclick stations Website: "Will, Fliss and Paul are three excellent musicians who absolutely love to play - enthusiastic, joyful and really good people. When The Rosinators play everyone in the room has a smile on their face. Go to see them. Get the album. You won't regret it." [Gail Comfort, CMR Nashville] "Rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the UK's finest bands...If you've not heard their music yet then you really are missing something great!!" [Dee Hallett, British Bluegrass News] "WHEN I FIRST PLAYED THIS CD, I HAD TO CHECK THAT this was an all British line up. The band plays with such simplicity, clarity and authenticity that I thought they must have ancestral roots going back to the Blue Ridge Mountains at least.....The three members of this band show what can be done by letting their undeniable talent and the simplicity of songs speak for themselves....I can tell you that I am sent many CDs for review but only a few make me want to play them again and again. This is one of the few." [Cajun Life & Times Magazine] "You guys (and gal) have flat got it. I've about burned laser grooves in your CD since I arrived home. Bill Monroe must be smiling as he gazes toward London alongside Blind Willie Johnson, Dewey Balfa, Keith Whitley, and Chubby Wise. Oh - and I love the name!" [Jack Bernhardt, Raleigh News & Observer North Carolina "When American roots music deejays rave about bluegrass passion, Cajun verve and country-gospel authenticity, you know that The Rosinators are the real deal. From deep in the heart of Balham Alligator territory, the London-based trio have added their own stamp to the American old time tradition so convincingly that most of their radio airplay comes from US stations. Formed in 2001, they blazed out of the traps with dynamic three-part vocal harmonies and fiery twin-fiddle attacks driven by crackin' guitar picking." [Acoustic Music Centre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe] "For a band hailing from London, The Rosinators have a truly unexpected sound. This is American roots music with a huge capital A the size of Texas.

Lyrics
(lyrics as sung by The Rosinators) When I was young and in my prime I left my home in Caroline Now all I do is sit and pine Thinkin' 'bout the folks I left behind I've got them Blue Ridge Mountain blues And I sit right here and pine Cos I'm bound to travel While I'm scratching gravel For them Blue Ridge far away I went on down to San Anton Ain't a gonna work or worry any more I'm gonnna stay home with my Pa Ain't a gonna work or worry any more I've got them Blue Ridge Mountain blues And I sit right here and pine Cos I'm bound to travel While I'm scratching gravel For them Blue Ridge far away ______________________
