Editorial Reviews
Billy Block, Western Beat Monthly
Rose is one of the pleasant surprises of 2000, a wonderful voice who ex\ presses her emotions with honesty and dignity.
Product Description
A distinct cycle of nature unites past and present, and this special place is where native East Tennessean Chelle Rose takes us with the songs on her debut cd Nanahally River. Connecting to her own past with that of her ancestors, she melds and shapes these life experiences into timeless music. Rose draws several parallels between her passionate, powerful songwriting and the ruby mining she did as a child with the grandfather who raised her from the age of three. Chelle approaches songwriting this way, as the art of "sifting through the dirt to find the camouflaged good stuff, unrecognizable until you soak it real good." Writing in this mode has garnered her comparisons to Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin and Julie Miller and genre-bending classics such as Dreamboat Annie and Wrecking Ball.

NANAHALLY RIVER IS A RARITY.......2002-09-28
"Chelle Rose's Nanahally River is a rarity. It grabbed my attention immediately and continues holding me over repeated listens. Pulling me in that quickly usually means something "really rocks," and some of the songs do. But in this case that wasn't what got me. It was Rose's voice. It doesn't have the whispery little girl quality like Marilyn Monroe singing her happy birthday to JFK. Instead it's a voice with heft, yet still feminine. Not like a classically trained opera singer. More the voice of someone who refuses to be ignored. Someone with a message she needs to tell. A voice that says, "what I have to tell you is important to me and you WILL listen." So I listened. I even took notes.
I'm not the only one who's listening. Rose has caught the attention of other critics, some describing her as the next Patsy Cline or Emmylou Harris. She's done this by applying legendary New York Times sportswriter Red Smith's advice to writing songs. There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ...
Quote: John Ward, Country Music Roundup (York, England).......2002-04-06
"Chelle took command of the stage with her lions mane of long blonde hair and her half leopard skin jacket and reminded me a lot of the early 70's glam-rock image much attributed to the likes of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. Her colourful behind the song stories all about her life and upbringing in East Tennessee were interrupted with highly infectious giggles, proving how
much she enjoyed being up there on stage. "
