2024 Charity Shop Purchases # 68 - Josh Rouse - Under Cold Blue Stars
We are back in Castle Douglas today.
I almost missed the Mental Health charity shop as it was right at the end of the main street and round a slight bend.
There were a few CDs on display and when the chap behind the counter saw me looking at them he said "there are plenty more in the back shop if you want a look" Needless to say I didn't need a second invitation.
There were probably well over 100 and although the were awkwardly placed I checked out as many as possible. I'm sorry to say I only came away with one and felt obliged to give an additional donation for the gentleman's kindness.
You have probably guessed that the CD in question was Under Cold Blue Stars by Josh Rouse his third album from 2002 and on Rykodisc/Slow River Records. I was thoroughly immersed in Americana at that time and I'm pretty sure that I saw him around then but I may be confusing him with Josh Ritter.
I've got a few of his albums from around then but I'm pretty sure that this is the first time this one has crossed my radar.
The inclusion of Christmas with Jesus is as near to a Christmas song as you are going to get here.
"is as near to a Christmas song as you are going to get"
ReplyDeleteNice to see you spreading joy and christmas cheer on these pages.
You're on a roll at the moment, another favourite album by a favourite artist. Clearly I need to go to Dumfriesshire on my summers hols next year (need to give them time to restock after your visit).
ReplyDeleteI suspect that much of the dross will still be there!
