Details:
Roza''s sophomore release, "Moving Slowly" features a stellar supporting cast, including keyboardist Marc T Jordan (Van Morrison), bassist Dave Francis, drummer Bryan Owings (Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin) and saxophonist Jim Hoke (NRBQ, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris).
Roza''s lyrical chops are in fine form on seven originals ranging from cool swing ("Susie"), to Americana ("Changes", "Looking Into Emory") to Dylan-as-Irish-Balladeer("If You''re Seeking"). The most unexpected surprise may be an overhaul of The Beatles'' 20 second masterpiece, "Her Majesty", where Roza transforms the protagonist into a blue-collar Joe pondering his attraction to the local royalty. Fans of Dylan, Paul Simon, John Prine, Steve Earle, John Hiatt, Wilco, and other literate songwriters will find much resonance in "Moving Slowly".
