Rhino Records announced they will be releasing a double disc JOSH ROUSE retrospective album on September 9th. The discs will span Rouse’s nearly 7 years on the Rykodisc label where he put out some of his most memorable work.

Selections from his solo albums, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, Home, Under Cold Blue Stars (my personal favorite), 1972, and Nashville will appear on the anthology’s first disc along with Chester an early EP where he collaborates with Lambchop’s own Kurt Wagner. The second disc will highlight Rouse’s more rare releases including his most recent EP, Bedroom Classics Vol 1., demos and unreleased tracks.

Rhino has set up some listening parties so you can get your Rouse on until September 9th.
