My Little Flame (Re-Release)
(2003)
Footlodgedindoor Music/Kindling Music
A deluxe, expanded reissue of Kathryn Rose’s second solo album.
The major label-distributed reissue of Kathryn Rose’s My Little Flame features new cover artwork, two new tracks including a stirring version of the Jimmy Webb classic Wichita Lineman and DJ remixes of single “Life’s Luxurious.” The CD edition includes an enhanced CD-ROM with the Life’s Luxurious video.
My Little Flame includes guest performances by Ron Sexsmith, George Koller (Holly Cole), Thomas Ryder Payne (ex-Joydrop), Kevin Fox (Sarah Harmer) and Bryden Baird (Fiest, Esthero).
“Rose basks in her idiosyncrasies, giving her songs complex, fanciful musical arrangements and cinematic atmospherics. She is also thrifty with her vocal gymnastics, a welcome trait in these diva-worshipping times.” -Eye Weekly.
