The Austin Chronicle has a nice write up on Austin, Texas’ honky-tonk sweetheart Rosie Flores.

Rosie talks about her childhood in San Antonio, her early band - Rosie & the Screamers, featuring the Band’s Rick Danko brother Terry Danko on bass and getting to wear the pants Gram Parsons wore on the cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers’ Gilded Palace of Sin. Rosie is also quite forthcoming about her mother’s death and how she started taking pain pills and sleeping pills to deal with the grief.
