ROSE,ESTHER - YOU MADE IT THIS FAR Vinyl LP

A New Orleanian for the last decade, Esther Rose first gained national prominence with the release of 2017's 'This Time Last Night,' an intoxicating debut that prompted Fader to praise her "honest, gorgeous country songs," earned her festival performances at Savannah Stopover to AmericanaFest alongside dates with The Punch Brothers, Pokey Lafarge, and The Deslondes, and it even caught the ear of fellow Detroit native Jack White, who was so taken with the music that he invited Rose to duet with him on his Boarding House Reach album and to share the stage for a live performance at Jazz Fest. 'You Made It This Far' is Esther's sophomore album, recorded live to tape in just four days at Mashed Potato Records. Laid-back yet deliberate, her delivery marries old-school country and rural folk with a plainspoken philosophy that's thoroughly modern, and the end result is a record that's as joyful as it is restless, one that weaves fiddle and lap steel around profound revelations, late night conversations, and all the moments in between.
