Planet Earth lost a tremendous talent on the guitar a couple weeks back, and waaaaay too early. Jack Rose died of a heart attack on the morning of December 5th. He was 38.
Rose was as well rounded a threat on guitar as they come; incorporating elements of drone, ragtime, folk, blues, and Eastern classical into his playing, often times within a single song. The man had grace to spare.
Thrill Jockey will be releasing his tenth solo album, Luck in the Valley, on February 23, 2010.
