If you can believe their accounts, was a total failure until the day he was a success. More recently, Nathaniel Rateliff was about to throw in the towel before recording his R&B record “S.O.B.” Which brings me to Maggie Rose, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who has been performing for more than a decade as a rising coun- try artist and has appeared on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry more than 80 times. When you listen to her, you hear the voice of an expe- rienced professional, someone who is at home on a stage and in front of a microphone, whose voice has great power. Rose shows great control and range in her voice, singing country, pop, power ballads, as well as soul and R&B songs. But despite two albums and many years of playing gigs all over the country, she had not yet carved out a space of her own. That changes with the release later this summer of Maggie Rose’s third studio album, “Have A Seat.” Recorded pre-pandemic at the leg- endary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, it was produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes. Although “Have a Seat” won’t be of- ficially released until August 20, 2021, several of the tracks have already appeared on Rose’s website or on YouTube. It’s not just that the new music is more textured and complex, or that her vocals soar with greater authority, which they do, it is really about Maggie Rose having found her own lane, her own groove. To describe her sound, I can make a ton of comparisons. I can say this is Maggie Rose’s “Dusty in Memphis” album. Or that her songs, like “What Are We Fighting For” and “The Best of Me” remind me of (with some thrown in there); that “For Your Consideration” could easily be a Brittany Howard song; that “Saint” is a power ballad fit for the Grand Ole Opry; or that “Are We There” is a slow jam worthy of Corrine Bailey Ray or Sade; or that “What Makes you Tick” is a blue-eyed soul song that Joss Stone might want to cover. But the truth is that Maggie Rose’s new album is none of that, or rather all of that, mixed together in a sound that grabs you and won’t let you go. “Have a Seat” and “What Are We Fighting For” carry a greater resonance after the last year and the struggles for greater inclusion, diver- sity, and the calls for all of us to proactively be anti-racists. The time has come for artists in general and women artists in particular to speak their truth. And that is exactly what Maggie Rose does on this album. Here’s a quote from Rose from the album’s promotional materials about “Have A Seat”: These songs were written during a contentious time, and there are undertones to the lyrics that are influenced by the state of our world politics and the politics of the music industry. The title Have a Seat is responsorial, placing an emphasis on inclusivity—like, ‘Here, sit down. Let’s try talking to each other.’ One of the most loving things we can do is listen and make others feel heard— give people the space to speak their mind and be themselves. However, there’s also an intended meaning to the title that points to the power in occupying the seat that’s designated to you: I am claiming a seat I believe is rightfully mine, and I want others to do the same.” Now I can’t tell you if this is the beginning of greatness to come for Maggie Rose – or a moment of cosmic harmonic co- incidence. What I can say is that these songs deserve a listen, and that they are certainly worthy of lightning striking. What came before for Maggie Rose may still get play, but what will matter is this album “Have a Seat” and what follows.” - Forbes, “Maggie Rose Earns Her Seat At The Table,” 6/15/21

“For the bulk of her career, Maggie Rose toiled on the fringes of , releasing songs and albums that were often too risky for mainstream Nashville — see the hyper-specific death-row ballad “Looking Back Now.” Country radio success never materialized, but more importantly, Rose found herself by leaning into the soulful side of her voice and embracing R&B, roots-rock, and even the jam world. Her new single “For Your Consideration” blends all of those elements to showcase a vocalist who is finally having her moment. Written by Rose with Joe Ginsburg and Megan Redmond, “For Your Consideration” is all ebb and flow. Simple staccato guitar notes ac- cent the verses and nearly disappear before huge washes of drums, strings, and keys sweep across the chorus. Throughout it all, the Nash- ville singer’s voice is bell-clear as she cuts down a lover who isn’t putting in the effort. Worse still, he fails to recognize her sacrifices. “Sure must be nice knowing all there is to know,” she sings. “Doesn’t mean that it’s all my fault ’cause you say it so.” Before moving to Nashville, the Maryland native learned stagecraft by singing in a Springsteen cover band, and she sells all that slow- burning drama here. “I wish that I could borrow your eyes/Maybe that would open my mind,” Rose belts. “Just look at all the room I’m making/For your consideration.” “For Your Consideration” is the centerpiece of the upcoming album Have a Seat and the song’s title is no afterthought. With Rose deliver- ing such an undeniable performance, it’ll be just perfect come awards season.” - Rolling Stone, “Songs You Need To Know,” 6/8/21 Coming up… 7/19: The Record Company “How High,” Damon Albarn “Polaris”… 7/26: The Wild Feathers, Jocelyn & Chris… 8/9: Old Sea Brigade… 8/16: Ahi… RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 7/7/2021
