RISE & SHINE
Rummaging around a used book store, Erick found a copy of Psychedelic Art by Robert E.L. Masters and Jean Houston and bought it specially because of the cover. On it was the painting All Things Are One Thing, 1967 by Isaac Abrams and he decided that it had to be the cover for their album. "I researched him and found out that he was a part of the New York City acid tests in the 60's and now lived in Woodstock," says Erick. They called him up and found him to be very kind, and when they sent him mixes of the record, he agreed to let them use his painting on the cover of their 1st full length record."It fit well with the title of the album," says Erick, "Most of the songs came from dreams and nightmares, so we wanted the title to be about waking up."- David Watson, March 10, 2008
LONESOMESo you may enjoy this album to its fullest, you should know:The Rosewood Thieves were snowed in when these songs were recorded. They were up in the Pocono Mountains filming and were unable to drive back to New York due to treacherous conditions. They stayed at Erick's parents' house while they waited out the storm. That first night, after a warm dinner, they drank coffee and tea in the basement recording studio where Erick picked up his guitar and played the band a song he had just written, "Honey, Stay Awhile". Paul suggested that while they were there, they might as well spend the night recording the new song. This snowballed into a three-day session, wherein most of the songs were recorded late at night, the studio only lit by many small candles. "Being stuck up there, in the country, it only seemed natural to choose the songs we chose, and it only seemed appropriate to title the album 'Lonesome,'" says Erick.

FROM THE DECKER HOUSE
The small valley town of Deposit, NY lies along the West Branch of the Delaware River, and is nestled between the bustling metropolitan areas of Albany and Syracuse. Deposit is also host to the Decker House, an All-American rickety farmhouse that is more ghostly than quaint. Local socialite Bonnie Decker lived and died in that house. Within a month of her passing, the Rosewood Thieves left New York City, looking to reclaim a peace of mind at the Decker house. In the process, they found themselves surrounded by the mystery of her memory and haunted by Deposit’s peculiar existence, thus the story of the From the Decker House was written.- MacKenzie Wilson, July 11, 2006
