Gut strings bieng wrenched over the gaping wound of a spanish guitar accompanied by the omnipotent wail of a skinny, white boy from middle america.
Clay Rose was born under candle light on the high planes of Colorado. Rain and his mother’s heart gave him rhythm. His father’s eyes gave him blue. Clay’s affinity for highways and eclectic personalities has kept him in good supply for material. He lives in a passing blur of state lines and mileage markers, the only things that link him to reality. He molds language into landscapes and sculpts a home out of heartache.
It seems that Christmas time is here once again, and it is time again to bring in the New Year. We wish the merriest of Christmas to you and your loved ones, and we wish you happiness and prosperity in the year ahead. Yola
I found the cd you gave me at Pop Overthrow all those years ago. Still find it funny I would have to buy a bumpersticker but you gave me the music for free.
Clay, being this close how had I not found you before. Great songs, great stories, great lyrics, and vocals. There, I have used great enough I think. I thoroughly enjoyed all but Milk and Honey just blew me away. Will definitely make it a point to catch one of your shows around denver. Thanks for the friendship. Be well
Ok, that's it. Seriously, you better call me ASAP or I'll start to get creative. You know how I get when it's been too long. Last I talked to you was as I arrived in TX and the phone cut out. I've already resorted to cute kids leaving messages for you too! I may have to call the bar tomorrow night, and have the bartender interrupt your show to page you, Clay Rose the Bedwetter, to the phone for a call from Lil Sissy! Seriously...
