This is the lovely title track from Laura Cantrell's 2002 sophomore album, "When The Roses Bloom Again". The song was written by A.P. Carter. Cantrell (born 1968) moved to New York City from her native Nashville to study law and accounting at Columbia University. She began deejaying on the university's radio station, WKCR, until joining WFMU after her graduation in 1993.
Her singing career began when she was at college, performing with various local groups. She later befriended John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, with whom she sings on the band's Apollo 18 (1992). Flansburgh also released her first solo material: an EP on his "Hello CD of the Month Club" in June 1996, which was reissued in 2004 as The Hello Recordings. Cantrell reached wider recognition in 2000 with her debut album, Not the Tremblin' Kind. The album reached the attention of legendary UK DJ John Peel, who wrote of it, "It is my favourite record of the last ten years and possibly my life". She went on to record five sessions for Peel and dedicated her 2005 album, Humming by the Flowered Vine, to his memory.

  • I forgot about Laura! Thanks for the reminder. I used to love to listen to her radio program even though she never played enough of her own records on there.
