Josh Rouse, Country Mouse, City House (Full CD)

Josh Rouse has been a Twangville favorite for some time now. Of course, we’re partial to his Nashville release, but there’s not much to dislike about any of his many songs to date. Like Ryan Adams, Rouse keeps making music and never looks back. The songs and albums are often autobiographical or at least they seem so. Country Mouse, City House is his latest and as the title indicates it seems to be much about a country boy living the city life. We’ve learned that he recently moved to the Big Apple following a short time in Spain. Be sure and catch Todd’s “Country Mouse, City House” review for more on this album.
