Jack Rose – Opium Musick

Jack Rose was an American guitarist originally from Virginia and later based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rose is best known for his solo acoustic guitar work. He was also a member of the noise/drone band Pelt. Jack Rose was a prolific recording artist in his relatively short solo career, with albums, EPs, and compilation tracks on no fewer than ten record labels. He gained a new level of public exposure upon his inclusion on Devendra Banhart’s sold-out Golden Apples of the Sun compilation in 2004. Opium Musick was recorded and originally released in 2003. It is an eclectic collection with pieces for 12 string (the percussive and dark “Black Pearls”), 6 string, and lap guitar.
