A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the album '1972' by indie folk musician Josh Rouse in (just under) twenty minutes.
Released in 2003, 1972 is the fourth album by Rouse. Born in the rural town of Oshkosh, Nebraska, Rouse's family moved to various locations during his childhood including Utah, California, Wyoming, and Georgia. He began writing songs aged 18, and following his nomadic childhood, he eventually moved to Clarksville, Tennessee where he attended college, dropped out and then moved to Nashville, Tennessee, working as a parking valet. It was here he met local musicians and began recording.The initial recordings he made eventually became his debut release, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, realeased in 1998.
Produced by Brad Jones, 1972 is a collection of songs that pay homage to the songwriters whose songs were popular on AM radio in the year Rouse was born. In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.
