SLOW BURN BY KIRSTY ROCK
Best known around the world as a member of Easy Star All-Stars, Kirsty Rock brings the fire with her own distinctive, soulful, and earthy reggae sound on her solo album debut, Slow Burn. Many of the songs on Slow Burn were started on the road with Easy Star All-Stars and with her own long-running band Trumystic, as Rock often found inspiration while in motion. With a busy tour schedule, no intention to be a solo artist, and no rush to put out “product,” she left all expectations behind and let the songs evolve. That led to eventual collaborations with many members of the band, along with friends like Nate Edgar (John Brown’s Body, Nth Power) and Matt Stein (producer for Method Man & Redman, Blondie, Bill Laswell, and many others).
