Americana, Alt-Country, Singer-Songwriter
Bio / Background
At the core of The Roseline is singer/songwriter Colin Halliburton - hushed voiced, melodic and tuneful, possessed of an easy going view on life`s fleeting joys. With a wispy roots sound that incorporates elements of traditional and alt. country the band works from Halliburton`s acoustic guitar and voice outward. Light drums, bass and piano provide accompaniment that recalls the most roots-bare moments of acts like The Pernice Brothers, Whiskeytown and The Jayhawks. Guests add touches of electric and pedal-steel guitar to good effect, and there are some well place backing vocals courtesy of Julia Peterson. But from start to finish, Halliburton rides a mid-tempo wind of intelligent songwriting that has great warmth, occasionally rising from the mellow roll to something that rocks.
Colin first picked up a guitar in the Spring of 2004 and in the year following, prolifically penned over 70 songs.
↓ more ↓Seeking a bigger outlet for his expanding song list, Halliburton called upon several musician friends to help him narrow down the list and record a proper album. ‘A Wall Behind It’ is the end result of this effort.
The album is rooted in both traditional and non-traditional country and folk music, occasionally flirting with rock n’ roll. Halliburton’s aim was “to make an album that combines the warmth of American Analog Set, the spaciousness of country music and the lyrical punch and percussion of Elvis Costello or Paul Simon.” ‘A Wall Behind It’ was recorded at Blacklodge Recording in Eudora, Kansas. It was engineered and co-produced by Joshua Browning.
Accompanying Halliburton is a talented assembly of experienced local musicians. Ehren Starks, who has toured and recorded with the Architects, the Belles, and MC Approach, plays organ and piano. Upright bassist Paul Winn has performed with Jose PH and Pleasuremaker, among others. Drummer Joe Rankin is formerly of OK Jones and backing vocalist Julia Peterson performs regularly with her own band, the Breaks. Other musicians who appear on the recording are electric guitarist Mike Alexander of the Architects and pedal steel extraordinaire Jeff Jackson, who performs with OK Jones and Rex Hobart. The band calls Lawrence, KS their home.
