'Alimony' written by Chelle Rose. ©2012 Thorn Pricked Music SESAC. All Rights Reserved. From the Ghost of Browder Holler CD. Produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard

NEW YORK TIMES "As a songwriter, Ms. Rose works in the realm of Lucinda Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Alejandro Escovedo and other terse, unflinching songwriters on the rock fringe of country. She sings about hard-nosed characters — herself, perhaps, among them"

SPIN MAGAZINE "So this kicks nine kinds of ass, and you oughta get up on it. Chelle Rose is an "Appalachian rock'n'roll" queen from Eastern Tennessee with a scythe-like twang that evokes Lucinda Williams but not "Lucinda Williams"; the title track was written to appease the vengeful ghost of her deceased ex-boyfriend (success), the hardest rocker is called "Alimony," and the rest will make Justified fans flip the f*ck out. Outstanding."

Comparisons were made early in the press to Bobbie Gentry, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle. Nashville’s top music critics have given high praise for her “Fire and emotional release in her driving arrangements and unflinching lyrics”. Ghost of Browder Holler produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard is the highly anticipated follow-up to Rose’s critically acclaimed debut, Nanahally River. It is being regarded as an unfeigned exploration of a fiery woman-child from East Tennessee with deep Western North Carolina roots. Rose is a survivor who has stomped through some hard-core life experiences and documented it all along the way via her music, which she refers to as ‘Appalachian Rock n Roll’. Ray Wylie says, "Chelle Rose is an artist willing to peel back the bark and lay bare the raw torn poetry of her East Tennessee amaranthine soul; and this record is McQueen jumping a motorcycle over a barbed wire fence in the great escape blackout fever in the funk house believe me rock or die cool."
