REVIEW: Black Tar Roses - "Travelling Emporium"

I hope you’re enjoying this sunny weather.I have a great new band coming your way this lovely Monday afternoon.

I am delighted to introduce you to the fantastic band Black Tar Roses whose new album ​​Travelling Emporium is going to have you hooked from the first second you put it on.

Black Tar Roses wrote the single,​​ Lady Noir , as a story about a message to his close friend, currently in the throes of addiction and Lady Noir from Olga one of the fleet from the Sailing Tectona charity that helped save his life, as a plea to his cocaine addicted friend to seek help.

With influences from the likes of The Pogues, The Dead South and Shovels & Rope. Black Tar Roses have made a sound that is distinctive and unique to themselves while still drawing heavily on the bands and artists that have influenced their great work.

Travelling Emporium offers us an album of soundtrack-isms with overlaid lyrics and brilliant stories, a seemingly obvious next-step into the world of folk for Black Tar Roses and I can't wait to see what this talented band does next.
