Dressed Up Like Nebraska

Josh Rouse's 1998 debut album, A collection of vignettes soaked in raw emotion and wrung out, elegantly. Sort of Freedy Johnston meets Nick Drake, Rouse's vocals resonate with a can't-quite-put-your-finger on it longing, making his music as much about what's left in it, as it is about what's left out. 10 tracks. Slow River.
