Josh Rouse出生于內(nèi)布拉斯加(Nebraska)，之后在很多地方生活過，如加利福尼亞(California)、猶他(Utah)、懷俄明(Wyoming)、內(nèi)布拉斯加(Nebraska)、南達(dá)科他 ( South Dakota)、佐治亞(Georgia)和亞利桑那(Arizona)等。Josh Rouse少年時(shí)代崇拜的偶像是the Smiths和the Cure，于是就跟叔叔學(xué)彈吉他，18歲時(shí)寫了第一首歌。1998年簽約Rykodisc subsidiary Slow River后發(fā)行了首張專輯《Dressed Up Like Nebraska》，贏得了評論界的廣泛稱贊。移居納什維爾(Nashville)后Josh Rouse結(jié)交了Kurt Wagner(傳奇鄉(xiāng)謠團(tuán)Lambchop領(lǐng)軍人物)，于是在1999年秋天，兩人合作出了張EP《Chester》。Josh Rouse的個(gè)人第二張專輯《Home》緊隨其后于2000年春出爐，2002年發(fā)行了第三張專輯《Under the Cold Blue Stars》。之后，Josh Rouse找來了制作人Brad Jones打造他的下一張專輯，也就是2003年發(fā)行的專輯《1972》，這張專輯兼具Rouse早期輕搖滾演唱風(fēng)格和他嗓音中開朗深邃的一面。然后Josh Rouse的婚姻也走到了盡頭，于是他從納什維爾(Nashville)搬到了西班牙，2005年發(fā)行專輯《Nashville》。 Roots pop singer/songwriter Josh Rouse was born in Nebraska, living variously in California, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Georgia, and Arizona during the years to follow; obsessed as a teen with British cult favorites like the Smiths and the Cure, he learned to play guitar from his uncle and wrote his first song at 18. Signing to the Rykodisc subsidiary Slow River, in 1998 Rouse issued his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, to widespread critical acclaim; upon settling in Nashville, he was befriended by Kurt Wagner, frontman of the endlessly brilliant chamber country group Lambchop, and in the fall of 1999 the two singer/songwriters issued a collaborative EP, Chester. Rouses second solo LP, Home, appeared the following spring and was followed by Under Cold Blue Stars in 2002. For his next record Rouse hooked up with producer Brad Jones, and the resulting album, 2003s 1972, was both an homage to the soft rock sounds of Rouses youth and an opening up and deepening of his sound. Before the release of his next album, Rouses marriage ended and he moved from Nashville to Spain. Released in 2004, Nashville served as a farewell to both the city and his marriage; it was also his most fully realized record to date. Once in Spain, Rouse settled in the small seaside town of Puerto de Santa Maria. His next record, early 2006s relaxed and intimate Subtitulo, was recorded there with Brad Jones once again producing. After the release of two EPs (Bedroom Classics, Vol. 2 and Shes Spanish, Im American, a duet record made with his girlfriend, artist Paz Suay), Rouse released Country Mouse City House in August 2007. 更多>>
