Rose colored corner

"Issued for the first time are the rhapsodic, intimate, melancholy tunes of Lynn Castle, the first lady barber of L.A. who recorded these demos with Lee Hazlewood and Jack Nitzsche in the late 1960s ... Now a grandmother in Los Angeles, she recently taught herself ProTools. But these songs, delivered in Castle's premature world weariness, aren't seeking instant gratification-their sorrow and loneliness finds solace in escapism and fantasy. Castle may have written out of sadness, but she's made peace with it. When she sings "I'm happy in my rose-colored corner," you believe her.".

"Castle has continued to write songs over the years, but almost none have seen the light of day; listening to Rose Colored Corner, one can't help but wish some of those private recordings could have been included here, as this offers a tantalizing glimpse of a fascinating talent, but the bulk of this collection simply doesn't present Castle to her best advantage".

"Unheard melancholic sounds from a phantom of the Summer of Love make up Lynn Castle's long-overdue debut album. Listen to Rose Colored Corner and be possessed".
