Reviews

Yankee Rose (1980 album)

In 1980, Yankee Rose recorded and released a self-titled album with Goldmine Records. In John M. Borack's, Shake Some Action - The Ultimate Guide To Power Pop, Yankee Rose is #121 on the list. Borack provides a favorable review of the Yankee Rose album, saying, "Another hopelessly obscure 'un, and one that's never made it to CD. Too bad, too, because these guys had the pleading-voiced teen angst thing down pat, especially on the absolutely superb "Any Time of the Day". Kudos to lead vocalist Michael Adams"[13]
