Listening To

Rosie Flores by Rosie Flores

Produced by Pete Anderson, Rosie Flores’ debut made her out to be the female answer to Dwight Yoakam. Flores probably felt like that image straitjacketed her, but from a musical standpoint, it worked beautifully, incorporating Flores’ San Antonio roots into Anderson’s California country vision. Songs include “Crying Over You,” “Somebody Loses, Somebody Wins,” and “Blue Side of Town,” which Patty Loveless wouldn’t do nearly as well the following year.
