Brother Bones - Rosetta

Review by Emmanuel Buttigieg

Brother Bones' album Rosetta is a powerful and emotional journey through the depths of the human experience. With hauntingly beautiful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is a must-listen for anyone who loves music that speaks to the soul.

From the opening track, "The Garden," to the closing song, "The Great Unknown," Rosetta takes listeners on a journey through love, loss, and everything in between. Brother Bones' unique blend of folk, rock, and Americana creates a sound that is both timeless and modern, making this album a standout in today's music scene.

The standout tracks include "Rosetta," a hauntingly beautiful ballad about the loss of a loved one, and "Broken Hearts and Broken Dreams," a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt lost and alone. The album's title track, "Rosetta," is a standout, showcasing Brother Bones' ability to blend different genres into a cohesive and emotionally resonant sound.

About Brother Bones

Brother Bones (October 4, 1902 June 14, 1974) recorded one of the most instantly recognizable songs of the 20th century, yet remains a virtual unknown, overshadowed by his own hit record and the world famous basketball team that adopted it as their official theme. Born Freeman Davis in Montgomery, Alabama, Brother Bones was a one-time shoe shine boy, working at stands in the vestibules of local barber shops. While shining, he would whistle, snap his shoeshine rag and pop his brushes in rhythm to records being played on an old Victrola. Brother Bones became known around town as "Whistling Sam." He would also tap dance and play the bones and knives, perfecting a style which used four bones in each hand whereas most bones players used only two. According to Tempo Records, Brother Bones was discovered by their president while playing in a Chinese restaurant in downtown Los Angeles and shortly after, "Sweet Georgia Brown" was playing on the radio across the nation. Brother Bones went on to record over a dozen songs, appear in at least three movies, perform at Carnegie Hall and was on The Ed Sullivan Show.
