![]() Even though no original members are left in the lineup the music is still unmistakably Fairport Convention. Folk rock with a warm sound and great humour. Just listen to the witty Hungarian Rhapsody for evidence of humour. The music contains lots of guitar, mandolin and fiddle and some pretty strong vocal performances too. The addition of the skilled lead guitarist Jerry Donahue means a lot for the music. His contributions to the songs are excellent. But the addition of Trevor Lucas is also a treat. The musicianship is overall very enjoyable from all involved. The songs are very ordinary in structure and there are not many instrumental parts in the music. This is vocal and song oriented music so donīt expect progressive elements here. There are none IMO which of course doesnīt have any effect on my rating. The production is very warm and pleasant. One of the best sounding albums from the band up until then. Rosie is a very enjoyable album to these ears and while it lacks the fantastic and bizarre concept story of Babbacombe Lee and doesnīt quite reach the hights of that album itīs still a good album with some great songs in my book and well deserving a 3 star rating.
