Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Moving from the outer limits of the universe back to earth with something more organic. Jack Rose had a CD available only as part of the Three Lobed subscription series called 'I Do Play Rock And Roll' and now the label have pressed up a heavy vinyl LP for the analogue freaks. The is a lot less boozy sounding than some of his recent stuff and a lot more spiritual and meditative. The album is comprised of 3 long improvised tracks from his live archives. One thing worth mentioning here is if you are a fan of James Blackshaw but have yet to convert to the church of Rose then this will be right up your street. He really builds these tracks into a deep and hypnotic trance like journey. His playing is incredibly skillful and for me the penny's just dropped at what a virtuoso he actually is. Quality gear as always on Three Lobed.

What the label says:

Limited to a 1000…will possibly be delayed to September but orders welcome now . while jack rose's compositional skills are always clear and apparent, observing one of his live performances allows even the most casual of listeners to be exposed to his works in an entirely new light. when played for an audience, rose's compositions are given time to stretch out and display an improvisational punctuation. various live tracks have popped up over the course of rose's discography, but i do play rock and roll is his first complete album of live material. i do play rock and roll's forty-one minutes are comprised of only three tracks meticulously selected from jack's live archives. an epic workout of "calais to dover" (originally appearing on 2005's kensington blues) recorded in 2006 starts the whole affair with a bang. the follow-up is documentation from a 2004 appearance on VPRO-fm in the form of "cathedral et chartres." the disc's closer, "sundogs" is a real treat. previously available only as a studio performance on the seminal by the fruits... triple LP compilation, it takes on a whole other twenty-two minute grinding, droning life live.
