Caitlin Rose – Shanghai Cigarettes

13th Sep 2010

Caitlin Rose has unveiled the video for her new single 'Shanghai Cigarettes' – out on the 27th September through Names Records.

Caitlin has spent the past couple of weeks in the UK playing increasingly-bigger shows. From a rammed, sold-out show at the intimate Slaughtered Lamb at the start of September, right through to nationwide support slots with Phospherescent and – over the weekend – a last-minute impromptu headline slot at End Of The Road Festival after Steve Mason (ex Beta Band) pulled out.

'Shanghai Cigarettes' is taken from her stunning album 'Own Side Now' which is available now.

Caitlin Rose released her debut album ‘Own Side Now’ last week to much excitement, achieving albums of the week in The Sunday Times, The Independent, Independent on Sunday and The Evening Standard, as well as top marks in everywhere from the NME to The Sun and Uncut. Things are kicking off for her on the radio as well, with sessions already booked for Bob Harris on Radio 2 and Marc Riley’s BBC 6 Music show.

‘Shanghai Cigarettes’ with Rayland Baxter on shared vocals serves as another fine example amongst many of Caitlin Rose displaying her joyful wit alongside honky tonk vibes which The Independent compared to some of country music’s greats; “with the wild-child bravura of the Cash/Carter dynasty, her kick-ass band spitting the fluid guitar licks across the motorvating groove with the panache of The Flying Burrito Brothers in their prime”. No less!

Having played across the US with the likes of Phosphorescent, Bill Callahan, Akron Family and Cortney Tidwell, Caitlin Rose returns to these shores with a three piece band to demonstrate just why she is turning so many heads. Once heard, never forgotten. They used to call it star quality. What do we call it now that our markers are so skewed? She will also play both Green Man & End of the Road festivals alongside her own headline shows in August/September. Take note from the “queen of the hive” as late 2010 is sure to be hers, so go gather and spare some love.
