“In the experimental music underground, Philadelphia guitarist Jack Rose was a beloved figure. Last December, Rose died of a heart attack at the age of 38. Now, a group of his peers have teamed up to release a massive tribute album in his memory.
Honest Strings: A Tribute to the Life and Work of Jack Rose is for sale right now from FINA, Thrill Jockey’s digital store. The compilation includes contributions from Six Organs of Admittance, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Bardo Pond, the No Neck Blues Band, Rose’s old band Pelt, MV & EE, Elisa Ambrogio of Magik Markers, and many others. Oh yeah— and it’s six-and-a-half hours long. The whole gigantic thing is yours for $15, with all proceeds go to Rose’s estate. You can buy the album, see the tracklist, and stream tracks from it here.”
I’m so glad this comp is getting love. From all over the place. All proceeds go to Jack Rose’s estate. Please support this incredible album, incredible guitarist, and incredible loss.
