December 5th marked the three-year anniversary of the passing of guitarist and visionary Jack Rose. Over those three years the brilliance of his music has remained constant. His unwavering dedication to not only wowing listeners with his brilliant technical skill, but writing actual songs set him apart from the pack of Fahey imitators and practitioners of American Primitive-lite explorations in folk monotony. Take a listen to some of his songs below. Seriously, listen. Your life will be better for it.
