2026 Charity Shop Purchases #24 - Rosie Flores - Dance Hall Dreams
I've got a good few songs by Austin based rockabilly, blues and country musician Rosie Flores in the music folder but up to now I didn't have any of her albums.
This has now changed as I picked up Dance Hall Dreams her 6th studio album, on Rounder Records, from 1999 at the same time as The Arlenes in Oxfam in Troon. I suspect that they were both probably handed in by the same person.
County Standard Time gives the album a brief review pointing out that it highlights the versatility of the Queen of the Honky Tonks.
I still need to give this one a proper listen. Who's Gonna Fix it Now referencing her father's passing is highlighted by most reviewers so I've gone for that along with the Bluesy It Came From Memphis
Had I held this one back to 31st August it could have featured on Rosie Flores Day in Austin

Top woman that Rosie. Last gig I went to before Covid and very good she was too.
