Rosetta West – Dora Lee

“Dora Lee” by Rosetta West is a raw and interesting story about passion, mystery, and the supernatural. With a story about an enigmatic appearance, the song combines bluesy rock ‘n’ roll with an acoustic basis, providing it a rebellious energy. The song begins with an acoustic guitar, establishing the scene for a garage-rock-inspired vocal performance. The singer’s style is raw, dynamic, and full of attitude, reminding of known rock storytellers who cross the lines between danger and seduction. The groove is obvious, based in blues and rock n roll elements, but with a restless sharpness that keeps the listener focused. At 1:48, the song changes settings with an exciting guitar solo that draws inspiration from Led Zeppelin and other classic rock heroes. Even though the song is acoustic, it has an energy to it, showing Rosetta West’s ability to communicate the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll without relying on too much distortion.Fans of blues-driven rock with a storytelling touch are going  to listen to it again and again.
