"Honest and passionate. On the first
listening I was
under it's spell; on the second I was hooked! This
is
real acoustic roots at its best. "Don't
let this one pass
you by!" [Gerry Mansfield, Maverick
Magazine - July 2003]
"The trio consisting of Paul Castle,
vocals, guitar, banjo;
Fliss Premru, vocals and fiddle; and Will Sneyd,
vocals,
fiddle, mandolin, perform authentic roots music -
a blend
of country, bluegrass and Cajun. When I say
authentic,
I mean The Rosinators sound authentic. They play
from
the heart. They have a love for the music."

| Full download of the opening track of The Rosinators' debut album, described as a "Brilliant version injecting new life into the song" [Barry Thistleton - Country Music Round-up Magazine]. According to Lisa Clark's site at http://user.icx.net/~kwc/JoeClark.htm, "Below the hill and in front of the US Post Office at Sextons Creek, stands a Kentucky State Historical Marker, listing this bit of Mountain History: Old Joe Clark - "Mountain ballad, about 90 stanzas sung during World War 1 and later wars by soldiers from eastern Kentucky. Early version as sung in Virginia, printed in 1918. Joe Clark born 1839, lived here; a shiftless and rough mountaineer of that day. His enemies were legion; he was murdered in 1885. In the moonshining days of the 1870s he ran a government supervised still." |
