Jack Rose was a singular voice in American acoustic guitar music, blending the raw expressiveness of country blues with the meditative depth of raga and folk traditions. I Do Play Rock And Roll, released on Three Lobed Recordings, captures him at his most compelling — recorded live across multiple performances, the album showcases the visceral, in-the-moment energy that made Rose such a revered figure among fans of fingerpicked guitar music. Pitchfork awarded it "Best New Reissue" and praised it as "gorgeous, inspired, and deeply confrontational."
This 2016 reissue of I Do Play Rock And Roll is widely regarded as the quintessential Jack Rose album, drawing together live recordings that highlight both his technical mastery and his deeply emotive playing style. Pressed on 140g black vinyl and housed in a high gloss Stoughton "tip on" jacket, this edition is a beautifully presented version of an album that has only grown in reputation since Rose's passing in 2009. For fans of acoustic blues and exploratory guitar music, this is essential listening.
