“The title track from Alexa Rose’s upcoming debut is a swooning, atmospheric ballad, punctuated by guitarist Will Sexton’s ghostly swells and Rose’s woozy, mountain-woman voice. Raised in Clifton Forge, Virginia, she writes and sings with the conviction of someone who’s spent night after night on the front porch, the Allegheny Mountains in the foreground, spinning details of the day’s hardships into music.”
“No matter the musical style, Rose is the anchor of Medicine for Living. Her multidimensional voice is familiar and yet totally her own. She twangs and croons, tumbles and soars. It’s the voice of somebody who has loved and lost and has stories to tell about it all.”
“An intimate narrative on remembrance, regret, and forgiveness…“Human” mirrors a feeling of emptiness and helplessness during one of the most turbulent times within the country.”
“An enchanting new Appalachian voice wraps her rambling mind around a dream; it sounds like the soul child of Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton.”
“Singer/songwriter Alexa Rose makes vivid, emotional ballads that radiate an energy similar to Phoebe Bridgers or Waxahatchee.”
“Goregous and wistfully bittersweet.”
“‘Headwaters’ is a bucolic taste of folk-hewn Americana, offering pastural scenes that touch upon the personal.”
