​Whitney Rose (from the album We Still Go to Rodeos available on MCG Recordings)
The third time is a charm though We Still Go to Rodeos has tough competition when charming is the goal, and the lady with her name on the cover casts her spell, Whitney Rose the enchantress with a microphone. The emotional arsenal of Whitney Rose is hardwired into her vocal delivery. Tenderness calms troubled souls as Whitney Rose sets goals in “A Hundred Shades of Blue” over shaggy guitar strums. She whispers a seductive come-on at the local watering hole, painting a brighter image than the neon surrounding her story, suggesting trading nightlife heat for the warmth of simple pleasures in “Home with You”. Country music comes in many flavors, and over the course of three releases Whitney Rose draws inspiration from former first ladies of Country music such as Tammy Wynette, Lorrie Morgan, and Patsy Cline. 
 
On We Still Go to Rodeos, Whitney Rose is the constant as the melodies shift the soundscape of the album. Guitar distortion adds the bite of her kiss-off in “Thanks for Trying” as the drums pound out a path forward for “In a Rut”. The Rock’n’Roll backbeat of “I’d Rather Be Alone” erects a solid structure while Whitney Rose decorates the storyline with a sad Blue. Whether confronting a rival head-on (“Believe Me, Angela”) or turning a plea into a promise (“Don’t Give Up on Me”), Whitney Rose charms her way through the album as she confidently walks through tales of tough choices (“Just Circumstances”). We Still Go to Rodeos slides into a groove that carries “You’d Blame Me for the Rain” like a leaf in a fast-moving current as Whitney Rose closes out the album with the title track, her vocal a reverie, the musical current underneath her voice chugging on a perpetual flow, her mind matching the rhythm as her mental movie screen replays good times.

"We still go to rodeos" is Whitney's 4 album. Her debut album came out in 2015. That was a wonderful debut cd. Than had a ep in 2017 named "South Texas Suite". I saw her in concert in Chicago 2019.
