Rosie Thomas
Only With Laughter Can You Win, the second Sub Pop release from Seattle-native Rosie Thomas is a relaxed, folk-styled effort, sounding at times like Joni Mitchell, or a more modern contemporary such as Dar Williams.
The highlight of the album may well be ‘Red Rover’, a duet with Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam, which is just so delicate and pretty in every way. However, the album also touches on more vibrant themes at times, as can be heard on the free sample ‘I Play Music’, with its chorus flowing over with melodies. Mudhoney this is not, but it’s a pleasant song from a pleasant album, and Thomas is worth keeping an eye on.
