While Rosie Flores' music can certainly flirt with country, it's married to the more general sound of Americana. Drawing on rockabilly, '60s garage band pop, and California-style big guitar country-rock, Flores' makes her music her own with her unique voice and spicy guitar leads. Once More With Feeling features a host of Los Angeles session veterans on 12 tracks incorporating each of Flores' tricks and all of her favorite styles. From the memory-laden solo acoustic hum of {&"B   [ read more ]

Bandera Highway collects tracks from roots rocker Rosie Flores' three Hightone releases. Recorded in the early '90s, the albums showcased Flores catchy mix of rockabilly twang, melodic pop sensibility, and Western swing. Included are such standout cuts as the honky tonkin' "Blue Highway," the minor swing of "His Rockin' Little Angel," and the '50s-style rocker "You Tear Me Up." ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide

From start to finish, there is something special about this CD. Flores is a great guitarist, backed by Greg Leisz, David Lindley, Duane "DJ" Jarvis, and Dusty Wakeman. They rock, with some real killer slide-guitar work. If you like your country hard, you'll love it. ~ Chip Renner, All Music Guide

Cut from the same mold as Rose Maddox and Wanda Jackson, Rosie Flores is a 100-percent-for-real honky tonk gal and this album brings it out every bit as well as her '80s debut, reissued with bonus tracks on Rounder as Honky Tonk Reprise. Partially recorded live at Cibolo Creek Country Club in San Antonio, TX, Flores brings a batch of great originals to the mix with a band featuring Cindy Cashdollar on steel guitar and slide, drummer Donald Lindley, keyboardist {$Justin Reinhard   [ read more ]

Produced by Pete Anderson, Rosie Flores' debut made her out to be the female answer to Dwight Yoakam. Flores probably felt like that image straitjacketed her, but from a musical standpoint, it worked beautifully, incorporating Flores' San Antonio roots into Anderson's California country vision. Songs include "Crying Over You," "Somebody Loses, Somebody Wins," and "Blue Side of Town," which Patty Loveless wouldn't do nearly as well the following year. ~ Brian Mansfield, All M   [ read more ]

As the title indicates, Rockabilly Filly is Rosie Flores' first album that consists entirely of rockabilly tunes. Of course, she has always flirted with the genre, but it is refreshing to hear her take a full-fledged plunge. It's all the more impressive when you consider that it was recorded after she recovered from a wrist-shattering accident -- she plays with the vitality of a wild, young rockabilly cat throughout the album. ~ Sara Sytsma, All Music Guide

Rockabilly filly and honky tonk queen Rosie Flores turns down the rhythm just a bit as she hangs up the mistletoe on this solid seasonal disc. Christmasville was Flores' first solo album in four years, and as fits the material, there isn't much spitfire rave-up on these numbers if you were hoping to hear her rock out, but Flores' vocals are in sassy and supple condition, making with the blues on "Blue Christmas," sounding spunky on "Christmas on West Mistletoe," letting her hearta   [ read more ]
