AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Josh Rouse


Artist:Josh Rouse

Song:Directions

Album:The Best of the Rykodisc Years


Singer songwriter Josh Rouse probably had his greatest success when his song Directions was used in Cameron Crowe's 2001 film Vanilla Sky. He was born Mar. 9, 1972 in Oshkosh, NE but his family moved around a lot. Roush moved to Nashville and worked as a parking valet while he tried to make it in the music business. His songs generated enough interest that he signed with Slow River Records with Rykodisc distribution. Home was Rouse''s third album in 1999. The album got enough critical acclaim that Rouse got to appear on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Plus Cameron Crowe used Directions in his film Vanilla Sky. So that got him a good fanbase. Rouse moved to Spain in 2004 to be with his wife. He currently owns his own label with Yep Roc distribution. He released his latest album Going Places in 2022. This comp covers the Rykodisc years. Here's Josh Rouse performing Directions on Late Night with Conan O'Brien Apr. 14, 2000.
