Nebraska-born singer/songwriter Josh Rouse blends American roots music, contemporary folk, alt-pop, and indie rock into a sound that, refreshingly, defies easy categorization. With evocative songwriting, unvarnished emotion, an eloquent sense of longing and warm-hearted authenticity, Rouse has steadily won critical raves and built a devoted following ever since his 98 debut album DRESSED UP LIKE NEBRASKA was released on Rykodisc sybsidiary Slow River and Rykodisc releases on Disc 1 and on Disc 2, the ultra-rare out-of-print EP, BEDROOM CLASSICS VOL 1, in it's entirety along with seven previously unissued gems.
