Josh Rouse & the Long Vacations - Josh Rouse & the Long Vacations (2011) CD

The album was recorded in Spain, but is decidedly not \u201CSpanish\u201D in feel. This is an album that, in some fashion, reflects a reprise of the singer-songwriter\u2019s roots. It encapsulates a past for Rouse that is steeped in that American Midwest, infused with the spirit of the endless plains and a homespun existence in Nebraska. And a past also touched by the American South \u2013 one with a distinctive friendly nature. It reflects a life growing up with the smooth uplifting sounds of early \u201870s AM radio. But this album is also informed by the present with Rouse\u2019s current home of Spain adding its own distinctive texture to the sounds, spirit and feel of these nine songs.\nTrack Listings1\nDiggin' in the Sand2\nMovin' On3\nFine, Fine4\nTo the Clock, to the City5\nBluebird St.6\nLazy Days7\nOh, Look What the Sun Did!8\nFriend9\nDisguise
