Music : Folk Josh Rouse - El Turista (2010)
Released Feb. 22nd (Internationally) and March 9th (North America)
“I
know it’s kind of funny, this Midwestern guy doing Brazilian songs in
Spanish,” says Josh Rouse about his new studio album, El Turista. “I
don’t know if it fits, but I like the way it feels.”
Unexpected
and utterly sublime, this sultry song cycle will shuffle seamlessly in
tandem with Getz/Gilberto and Graceland, albums as boldly surprising in
their eras as El Turista is in this one. The record marks a new
direction for the critically acclaimed cult artist, while offering the
musical sophistication and emotional depth Rouse’s devoted constituents
have come to expect from him thanks to a consistently enthralling body
of work highlighted by the modern-day landmarks 1972 (2003) and
Nashville (2005), both of which are generously sampled on the marvelous
2008 Rhino retrospective The Best of the Rykodisc years.
The
new album bears the distinct influence of Spain, which the Nebraska
native made his home five years ago with his Spanish wife Paz Suay; the
couple and their first child now live in Valencia, on the Mediterranean
coast. On El Turista, Spain serves as the point of origin for a
globe-trotting musical journey that touches down in Cuba, Brazil and
Africa, as well as Nashville, where the bulk of the tracks were recorded
with Rouse’s longtime producer and close collaborator Brad Jones, and
the couple’s former home of Brooklyn, where the seeds of the record
where sown and some of the songs dreamed up.
