Every Other Flower
by Rosanna Lea

supported by 8 fans who also own “By This Fire”

Tracy Chapman incarnate. Suzanne Vega is the comparison that drew from the lips of a friend. Rosanna Lea is a former bandmate of mine, and I have been a champion of her spiritual-joy driven, articulate musical musings since we worked together in Manchester, England a few years back. This new album has blown my mind with its 'gorgeosity', its timeliness in the face of international conflicts, erm, WARS that perplex thinking human beings. This music is salve for the soul. BUY IT.
