Cherokee Rose - Buckskin ((CD))

Performing under the name Cherokee Rose in the 1980s and 90s, Roses debut release - Buckskin - existed in a sort of suspended-animation: issued as a small run cassette-only demo tape and sold at shows direct to a smattering of fans in 1993. No record label, no distribution. Rose doesnt own a cassette deck on which to play it today. In fact, Rose hadnt heard her earliest recordings in over fifteen years when she was approached with the idea to reissue them.

I wrote Black Irish Indian in 1980, and released it in 1993, but maybe the songs time and place is actually 2021, Rose Moore intimates. Such staggering self-awareness and personal reflection should come as no surprise from an artist who has spent decades considering her personal identity, her place within her own various ancestral histories and how she is informed by these three seemingly-disparate backgrounds which unite within her own expression.
