​The Roseline (from the album GOOD/GRIEF available on Alt Country Club Records)
Over the course of five albums The Roseline have grown from a 2006 acoustic three-piece backing the songs of the band’s frontman Colin Halliburton to a five-piece band branding their own style of Americana. The recent release GOOD/GRIEF takes the cartoon Charlie Brown phrase into a Black and White world and personal trauma of songwriter Halliburton. Backing the tales is easy Country Rock circa 2020, The Roseline saddling “Pheasant Feather” to a Country and Western canter for a modern tale of addiction as they sing of losing sleep reading daily headlines in “Counting Sheep” while GOOD/GRIEFhuffs and puffs a Rock’n’Roll beat to hammer “Inside Out”. 
 
The songs of GOOD/GRIEF are custom made for tough people dealing with tough times. The album tributes a former keyboardist’s passing in “Song for Ehren” while underscoring the faint scent of wildfires in the California Country of “Green Flash”. For Colin Halliburton, the tracks that line GOOD/GRIEFmatch the words and music that give him comfort, feeling that ‘I’m drawn to writing about subjects that are dark but perhaps make the listener feel a little less alone. My favorite pieces of art always do that for me’. Heartland hopes and dreams cruise on easy strums to open GOOD/GRIEF with “Better to the Bone” as The Roseline lay down a solid backbeat for a Midwest daughter in “Ghost Writer” and shuffle in on a staggered heartbeat when small town life choices are weighed in “Quartz or Digital” while across town two lovers take the stage in “I Guess That’s Just How It Goes”
