Kinsey Rose - Fair Weather Love (2015)

Regular readers will be familiar with KINSEY ROSE. Ken MacLeod has been telling us a lot about her over the past few years in his page. Now the Louisville, Kentucky native has released her first full album, “Fair Weather Love”.
The album, features 11 songs, which Kinsey wrote with the likes of Rick Tiger, Bobby James, Buddy Owens and Justin Schipper, who also produced the album. It’s a modern sounding Country album, without getting lost in today’s Nashville pop country blandness.
The opening track, “Hole Where My Heart Should Be” is a catchy radio friendly song, which serves as a great appetizer for the rest of the album. Other upbeat tracks include “Pickens Are Slim” which closes the album, and “Pennies From A Railroad Track” which is a catchy upbeat number, with a real downhome feel to it.
The title track is a beautifully sung ballad, with some nice harmonies from none other than Vince Gill. “Missin’ Kissin’ Me” is another superb Country ballad, and “Aren’t You Tired”, has quite a haunting feel to it.
But the stand out track for me is “Take My Picture Down”, a simple ballad, with a simple arrangements, that really show off Kinsey’s vocal talent.
I really enjoyed this album. Kinsey certainly has a modern sound, but, as I say, the arrangements are simple enough to keep it Country, which should help her stand out from the array of performers that Nashville pretend are Country.
