Much has been surmised about what attendance at Loretta Lynn's first teenaged performance might have entailed. Caitlin Rose's Dead Flowers seems answer the question, once and for all. Rose unflinchingly tackles the timeless topics of teenage pregnancy and primate love with an enthusiasm that is, if not completely infectious, to be admired. Singing in an alto at once pure yet deliciously tainted by MySpace and high school ("I make music because I hate homework," she famously opines), Rose manages to infuse such barn burners as "Shotgun Wedding" and "Gorilla Man" with the kind of brio that tends to get ProTooled out of most modern country albums and lovingly delivers a poignantly flat version of the eponymous Stones cover that is enormously effective in a patently 21st century way.
