Peter Asher
(From 60's group Peter and Gordon, and also James Taylor’s manager for over 30 years)
'I really enjoyed listening to it. Cool songs and you have an excellent voice –and with a couple of different styles in interesting and varied ranges. You sound (for example) angelic on “Never Go Back” but quite a bit tougher in your lower range on “Precious Mistakes”!'
Ian Rankin
'....like it a lot. Great voice, nicely produced'
The Italian reviews
So, as promised, here are the Italian reviews translated (along with links to the original Italian versions for all you clever clogs out there!)
1) From www.ilpopolodelblues.com (The actual article is here in a pdf)
“There's a curious story about the singer-songwriter, Rosie Nimmo, from Edinburgh. Curious, because her artistic career began only a few years ago, and has been running at the same time as her job as a therapist. Credit for this goes to a voice coach who discovered her talent. Singing for Rosie became a mission which led her to join a blues band before flying solo and forming her own band, called Rosy Blue.
Her acoustic style (heard at the Acoustic Music Centre at St Bride's, as part of the Fringe), with the support of bassist Tommy Nimmo and cellist Emma Turley, is jazzy and very well complimented by the guitarist, Stuart Allardyce. His playing and its simple melodies add worth and highlight Rosie's lyrics.
There are two albums by Rosie: “Lazy and Mellow” and “Home” in which you can find tracks that give these albums their titles. To these, she adds 'Timeclock', a strange mixture of Scottish salsa, and the ballad 'Little Hill’ (sic - actually Little Bird). The concert had an intimate and inclusive atmosphere, and the audience who came heard her northern style in a warm and upbeat style.”

From that moment she started to regularly play at festivals all over Great Britain and couldn't not come back home to Edinburgh for the Fringe (at the Acoustic Music Centre at St Bride's). From her musical upbringing, Rosie seems to have absorbed from some of the great Anglo-American singer-songwriters; from James Taylor to John Martyn; from Carole King to Leonard Cohen.

The folk triumph
...Now we look at the acoustic singer-songwriter scene, which unfortunately has seen the long-awaited defection of Bert Jansch. A great surprise (at the concert) was the in-house songwriter, Rosie Nimmo, the writer of cultured songs whose melodies are well-supported and complimented by the guitar playing of Stuart Allardyce. Indeed, Rosie Nimmo's style is made up of many influences that blend nicely into her songs...

Rosie Nimmo - Lazy & Mellow
'I've been playing Lazy and Mellow today, really for the first proper, uninterrupted time. And I find it deeply moving. Eloquent, gently questioning, a little sad in many places (which I love, of course) and beautifully produced'.

Rosie Nimmo // Home
Sink into your comfiest chair, pour a mug of your favourite steamy drink and sit back. Rosie Nimmo’s second album ‘Home’, puts you just there. While she takes inspiration from American country music and strays off onto bluesy tangents, this lady from Edinburgh’s warbling voice washes over like a calm tide, inviting our minds to dreamily ponder about how simple life really is.
Well, that’s what it did for me. The first half of the album reminded me a lot of Lee-Ann Womack’s “I hope you dance” days. “Never Look Back” sets the tone for the album. Nimmo’s voice floats above the tinkly acoustic guitar, tickling our ears and warming us up. The tone continues in a similar way until “Timelock”, where the guitar gets a little angry and loses its whimsical charm. Though this isn’t a bad thing, when I realised that Nimmo had some ‘grr’, I started to like her as well as her music.
It’s a shame that some songs such as “Moonglow Music” and “Listen To Your Own Voice” tend to slip into a harmonious background hum as they are similar melodically. But the album ends with the beautiful violin-tinged “Little Bird”, which sent me into a little trance. It was just lovely. Have a listen.
Nimmo’s new album hits like strawberry jam: simple, sweet, textured and good with cake.

The intimacy of a pub session continues on Rosie Nimmo’s new album Home. Nicely paced, its tempos shift up and down as other instrumentalists join in (fiddlerMairi Campbell, Hobotalk’s Marc Pilley and Ali Petrie) or leave Nimmo’s acoustic guitar and the blue velvet of her voice to caress listeners’ ears on their own. Campbell’s eastern-influenced minor scales are a dark addition to Timeclock, while standout track Life Can Pin You To The Wall brilliantly sets a subtle and restrained organ arrangement against the emotional whirlwind of the lyrics.

CD Review - Home
Mid-November, with a gale flinging the leaves against the window and a darkening sky that seems to promise eternal winter: it’s the perfect time to be listening to Home, a second album from Edinburgh singer Rosie Nimmo.
Not because Nimmo’s lyrics are relentlessly bleak and introspective – although they have their moments – but because despite a sheen of melancholy, little beacons of hope, comfort and warm humanity flicker across her complex vision of life’s travails. Just when you think the darkness is closing in for good, there’s a nip of something strong and reviving to pick you up and give you a wry laugh.
“The secret’s to enjoy the view If you can enjoy the people too,”
Nimmo sings with cool irony in the opening track, “Never go Back”. And there’s the rub, of course, because it’s people who tend to get in the way. Nature can be a more rewarding companion. Songs like “Moonglow Music” and the title track are like little oases in a landscape of experience that in other numbers – the desolate “Life Can Pin You to the Wall” and “Low Blue Way” with its aching harmonica (a Nimmo speciality) – is often obscured by mist.
“The End” is a frank and simple account of leaving things too late in a relationship. Perhaps, as Nimmo suggests in “Listen to Your Own Voice”, it’s ultimately best to be accountable to your own instincts. That way lies inner strength.
This is a wise collection of songs that faces up to some rough realities, not least in the unsettling, driven “Timeclock”, a sensory exploration of life’s rapid passage that really works its way under your skin. But there are moments of joy in the infantile escapism of “Being a Child Again (in the Snow)”, and even the sad tale of “Little Bird” ends on a note of fragile hope.
Nimmo’s style veers between soft, gentle folk and an edgier, almost bluesy quality that keeps you guessing where the mood will lead her. There is some exemplary, unfussy accompaniment from, among others, producer Marc (Hobotalk) Pilley on guitar, keyboard player Ali Petrie (the much-neglected Hammon organ comes into its own on several tracks) and fiddler Mairi Campbell.
Subtle, understated and sure-footed, Home is an intelligent, rewarding piece of work full of quirky hooks and rhymes that send your thoughts spinning off in all kinds of unexpected directions.

Rosie Nimmo: Home
On the back of Rosie Nimmo’s 2nd album ‘Home’ is a picture of herself laying on her sofa with her dog by her side. Looking comfortably playful and with cowboy boots on, there is an air of confidence, of not needing to hide behind a ‘pouty moody’ look and a feel of being… well yes, at home. Without that ’staged’ presence Rosie looks every bit a real woman. It‘s an honest look I find, and I like it. And so I admit with hands held high that I judged a CD by it’s back cover before I even listened to the first track. Isn’t this what most of us do? I hear you ask. Well yes, and that’s why I mention the homely looking CD packaging photograph in the first place; it’s a good indication of what you can expect from the album as a whole.
Pure of voice and flexible enough to shift her overall tone from a high silky almost hypnotic lull (think Alison Krauss ) to a deeper textured raunchier vocal (think Patti Smith). Rosie Nimmo’s songs blend styles of country, folk, jazz and blues beautifully and with little quirks here and there, for instance the subtle time change in ‘Never Go Back’ and the hint of Egyptian inflection in ‘Time Clock’ , make up a lovely and delicious collection of songs. Nimmo brings with her strong song writing a string of fine musicians who accompany her music perfectly, never overdone, and we can still tell who’s boss.
So to reflect my earlier statement regarding the CD photographic design and packaging; A wholesome, honest and ‘real woman’ type album. Only there are no dogs.
‘Home’ is available from October 2010.

Rosie Nimmo - Home (Kick My Heels Records)
Edinburgh-based Rosie has been singing jazz and blues for several years, mostly with the band Rosy Blue, but only comparatively recently has she felt sufficiently confident to chance airing her own songs in the public domain.
Rosie’s first album of original material (which came out last year) sported a title, Lazy And Mellow, which proved a fairly apt description of her singing style: exactly as the press release claims, reminding one of qualities in the voices of Billie Holliday and Dory Previn. But I’m less influenced by those comparisons than I’m impressed with Rosie’s own special alluring quality, an elegant combination of poise and depth that informs her approach to phrasing, and Home’s opening track, the understated Never Go Back, perhaps best exemplifies those features. Later, the sophisticated-crooner side to Rosie’s voice comes to the fore in tracks like the swooning Moonglow Music, while she also does a nice line in genial, slightly kooky pop stylings on Precious Mistakes and Timeclock.
Yet, while vocal versatility is definitely a byword for Rosie, her songwriting is also very persuasive in an understated kind of way, capably treading the fine line between reflection, personal self-examination and brooding observation. Just occasionally, as on Little Bird and Life Can Pin You To The Wall, you get the sense that Rosie doesn’t quite dig deeply enough, and that she’s on the very verge of coming up with a revelation; most of the time, though, her conciseness of expression is a virtue and proves more than sufficient to convey her feelings, as on the disc’s sweetly anguished emotional centre, The End.
The delicate trio of songs comprising the evocative Home, the nostalgically carefree shuffling jazz of Being A Child Again (In The Snow) and the desperate Low Blue Way together form what’s possibly the disc’s most imaginative sequence, while at the other end of the scale, Listen To Your Own Voice couches its numbingly blatant message in a naggingly catchy melody and insistent poppish arrangement. And on the subject of arrangements, these have been masterminded by Hobotalk’s Marc Pilley (who also plays guitars, drums and marimba), with further help from that band’s keyboard wiz Ali Petrie, while respected fiddle player Mairi Campbell contributes meaningfully to just two of the songs, as does Emma Turley on cello.
Home is an exquisite disc, one whose songs really haunt you, grow into you almost subliminally and yet also have an immediate musical appeal.

Rosie Nimmo releases her second album, ‘Home'
John Williams - Wednesday 20.10.10, 15:50pm
Edinburgh based Rosie Nimmo has been singing jazz & blues for several years including performances at the Edinburgh International Jazz & Blues Festival and the International Book Festival for the last two years.
Her second album Home was released this month, featuring the renowned fiddle player Mairi Campbell amongst an ensemble of top musicians who compliment Rosie’s voice and songwriting skills on a collection of songs exploring the trials and tribulations of life.
Home is the second self composed album from Rosie Nimmo who hitherto had chosen to cover other peoples music, the success of her debut Lazy & Mellow led her to continue writing her own songs which she shares on this second album.
Given Rosie’s fondness of jazz and blues the songs on Home are surprisingly contemporary leaning more towards pop music which will no doubt broaden the appeal of the album although it is more late night listening than daytime radio pop.
Favourites for me on the album are the beautifully sensitive The End, the title track Home, the opener Never Go Back and the final track Little Bird, all of which represent the softer most sensitive side of Rosie’s various singing styles.
Being A Child Again (In The Snow) is a wonderful jazz driven romp, a lovely track on which the singer perhaps sounds most at home, but overall it is the variety of songs and singing styles that make this album stand out from the crowd.
A voice to be celebrated on a haunting and intimate collection of songs, this is Home by Rosie Nimmo.

Rosie Nimmo - Home
music-news.com online review
Rosie Nimmo’s new album Home is released at a time when there are already a fair few female singer/songwriters plying their wares. It very congested at the moment and getting attention will be hard. Home is a very well executed album and the performances are uniformly excellent. In particular Ms Nimmo’s voice which has a clarity and range that does set her apart from others. The plaintive Never Go Back opens the album and it’s very easy to see oneself pouring a glass of wine and flopping into the sofa, and switching off. Precious Mistakes up the pace a little and is a jaunty country tinged song. Coming halfway through the album Timeclock is a welcome departure with its sinister metronomic beat and eastern melodies.
Listen To Your Own Voice’s main riff brings to mind The Proclaimers. The title track is has to be said is a beautiful song. From its acoustic beginning it slowly builds collecting and subtly adding viola and a mellotron but it Ms Nimmo’s voice that fills out this song.

Rosie Nimmo - Home
the-rocker.co.uk online review
I'd better be careful here, what with Ms Nimmo being an Embra lass. She might hunt me down and do me some damage, if I disparage her second album, "Home". Luckily for me, that's not likely to happen, what with it being a bit good an that.
Of course, it helps that I'm a bit of a sucker for singer / songwritery lassies, and with Ms Nimmo slotting easily into that ever so wide, seventies influenced category, all it took were some good tunes and a great voice. So, mission accomplished. As you would expect, given her background in jazz and blues, there are a few of those influences to the fore. But she also drops in some folk, country and Americana licks, just to make sure all the bases are covered.
The PR folk drop the name Dory Previn, as if everyone is familiar with "Mythical Kings and Iguanas", but she really doesn't sound like anyone else, even if there are enough themes in common, to make the former Mrs Andre Previn an influence on Ms Nimmo. There are plenty songs on "Home" that will fulfill your desire for a wow factor, with 'Life Can Pin You To The Wall', the jazzy 'Moonglow Music' and the darkness of 'The End', just three of the songs that will have you hitting the repeat button.
It's one of the best singer / songwriter, acoustic jazz-blues country-folk (phew) albums you'll hear all year, so get yourself off to her website sharpish.

Home - Rosie Nimmo Album Review
www.bluesbunny.com online review
A wise man – actually it was a woman when I come to think of it – once said “it’s all in the breeding”. Listening to Rosie Nimmo’s second album “Home” gave rise to that uncommon feeling of inbuilt quality. Perfectly poised throughout, she showed the kind of style and class that few have these days.
Her phrasing is exquisite with just the merest hint of Julie London huskiness evident in “Low Blue Way” and “Life Can Pin You To The Wall” but there is more here than late night listening for the melancholy at heart. Almost as if Ms Nimmo is showcasing what she can do as a songwriter, she lightly sidesteps into something a little offbeat, even cabaret, like “Time Clock” before tiptoeing into the mainstream with “Precious Mistakes”. However, mastering the conventional takes seemingly little effort and Ms Nimmo soon moves into the heart stealing business with the wistful “The End” (and that’s the one that sold this album to me).
I can see this album taking up residence on the CD players – it is way too good for an iPod - of the cognoscenti and, nicely produced by Marc Pilley, it will sound right at home there. Like I said, Ms Nimmo shows she is truly a class act here.

Home - Rosie Nimmo Album Review
www.allgigs.co.uk online review
It's different for girls. Apparently. And much more difficult too, I would imagine. In an industry still top-heavy with men, both in terms of artists and influence, just exactly where do you pitch yourself when you have already fallen foul of that dreaded "singer/songwriter" descriptor? Forever conjured up in people's minds as some sort of peak-capped folkie bearing an uncanny resemblance to a young Joan Baez and ideologically on the way back home from Yasgar's Farm before they have even heard a note, there has to be many a river to cross. Do you therefore go for a spot on the trajectory somewhere between KT Tunstall and Martha Wainwright, position yourself as another alternative to Feist, Joan Osborne or Sandi Thom or merely allow your promotional people to invite comparisons with Dory Previn and Billie Holiday? In Rosie Nimmo's case only the latter is entirely true, even though the assertion remains at best inaccurate and at worst unhelpful.
So what does the Auld Reekie songstress do for her second album? Well, she writes eleven deceptively simple songs about love and life and those mundane and magical moments in between, gets some good friends who just happen to be very accomplished musicians on board, knocks the tunes out at Shed Recording in a pure voice, assured and fragile in equal measure, and then sits back waiting for all those tired and lazy similarities to be drawn. Joan Wasser springs most notably to mind on "Life Can Pin You To the Wall " and this constant searching for verisimilitude occasionally detracts from Rosie Nimmo having a voice of her own, but her light ultimately shines through and imbues her future with a cautious, though not entirely unique optimism.

It's difficult to work out exactly where Rosie Nimmo sits on the acoustic spectrum, part folk, part blues, part Americana, hailing from the troubadour tradition. There's an almost timeless quality to her music. Her keen sense of observation and empathy with events going on around give "Home" a life's highways and byways feel. It's an album that's in no rush to get anywhere, just happy to take in the view and absorb the rich tapestry of the vista. The real trick is to turn that around and take the audience with you to those places, it's a trick Rosie's got off pat.

R2 Magazine
On her second album, Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Rosie Nimmo proves as gently persuasive as she was on her debut. Nimmo’s versatility is well in evidence, her background in jazz and blues coming to the fore on the sophisticated ‘Moonglow Music’, whilst the pizzazz of ‘Timeclock’ sees her inhabiting kooky singer-songwriter territory.
The peak performance, though, comes in the form of ‘The End’s’ drifting atmospherics, an ambitious and darkly brooding composition hallmarked by Nimmo’s alluring vocals and sweeping yet understated guitar.
‘Listen To Your Own Voice’, an insistent acoustic pop-rocker that nods at blues and New Wave influences and offers a sort of crash course in self-analysis is another example of the range and imagination on offer, whilst the shuffling jazz of ‘Being a Child Again (In The Snow)’ sees her revisiting her youth, echoes here of the stylish vocal elegance of Eddi Reader.
Home is an especially accomplished collection that is particularly difficult to pigeonhole, and that’s a good thing.
Steve Caseman.

Cette chanteuse originaire d’Edimbourg a plusieurs casquettes : auteur, compositeur et interprete. Peu connue en France, la chanteuse a pourtant un reel talent, conjuguant avec dexterite le jazz, la folk et des sonorities blues sur lesquels se pose une voix gracieuse et un style epure. Cet album trouve toute sa place dans une discotheque jazz digne de ce nom.

This singer from Edinburgh has many hats: author, composer and interpreter. Little known in France, nevertheless, she has a real talent, dexterously combining jazz, folk and some sonorous blues on which she displays a gracious voice and a pure style.

Rosie Nimmo - Lazy And Mellow ***
The Skinny. Ryan Drever, Wed 10 Feb 2010
Edinburgh's Rosie Nimmo cut her teeth singing for various blues and jazz acts across the capital, a period that seems to have been incredibly influential on this, her first debut outing. Lazy and Mellow - which delivers exactly what its title suggests - imports much of the lounging rhythms and laid-back air inherent in both genres and blends it with Nimmo's alluring vocal and lyrical whimsy. The hushed entrance of Spider And Fly gives way to Nimmo's quirkier side on the fiddle-led Pavlov's dog, but the real beauty of her voice is revealed in the toned-down dreaminess of tracks like Nothing To Fear and the title cut. At times, the album follows fairly standard acoustic fare, keeping safe distance from any serious experimentation. However, the addition of rich, yet subtle instrumentation helps to add colour to Nimmo's delicate canvas. Altogether, Lazy and Mellow makes for ideal easy listening. (Original here)

****1/2
Maverick Magazine
Echoing, delightful vocals and simply stupendous instrumentations, this hugely enjoyable album is a must for all.
Releasing here her first self-released debut album, UK artist Rosie Nimmo has produced a fine set of twelve tracks that really do sound as though as they have been around for some time due to how good they are. But, in fact, they are not old at all. What an achievement this album is.
With a top-notch Americana sound to it, Joy seems as though some of the best in romantic bluegrass have had some input into this track. With Mairi Campbell’s fiddling exceptionally delivered, this is one heck of a relaxing yet pleasurable song. The groove of Girl on a Bicycle certainly has a Dylan twinge to it. With a counterculture feel about it which wouldn’t sound out of place if performed by The Turtles or The Seekers, this sure is one fine track that best demonstrates Rosie’s talent. With an ace beginning, More has a somewhat jamming sound which I’m sure came from Rosie and her band playing together during countless rehearsal sessions. A track for nodding along to that’s for sure, as well as raising a smile as it really is a corker of a song.
Having graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1997, Rosie sure has used her musical paintbrush here to paint an exceedingly poignant and certainly delightful picture on a canvas that you never tire looking at.

ROSIE NIMMO – Lazy & Mellow

Kick My Heels (download only, from www.rosienimmo.com)
Jim Gilchrist - The Scotsman
SASHAYING along somewhere between folk, jazz and acoustic pop, velvet-voiced Edinburgh singer-songwriter Rosie Nimmo, after paying her dues as a jazz and blues singer on the pub, club and festival scene over the years, has released a debut disc which indeed justifies its name, the title track itself floating in a limpid drift.
There are one or two weaker numbers and the rhythm guitar work can sound rather functional at times, but the opening track, Spider and Fly, engages right away, as does Dangerous, while Pavlov's Dog swings along nicely. Darker-toned are More, a bluesy shuffle laced with Marc Pilley's waspish electric guitar, and Nothing to Fear, which stalks along to an edgy tango rhythm over Mairi Campbell's fiddle.
R2 (Rock 'n' Reel)
Issue 18
Rosie Nimmo makes her debut with Lazy and Mellow, an apt title for a collection of her own jazzy songs with support from producer Marc Pilley, Martin Lennon and Mairi Campbell. The album is polished and sophisticated but with a surprising warmth in songs like 'That Shy Girl' and 'Joy'.

Comparisons with Sandy Denny and Dory Previn are big claims to make but are not unfounded on the evidence of this solo debut for Edinburgh’s own Nimmo, a haunting collection of spare, subtle songs meditating on the magic and trials of life.

Rosie Nimmo
Lazy And Mellow
(Kick My Heels)
Lazy And Mellow it says on the cover, and you’ll get no argument from me on that score.
Right from the start, the honeyed tones of Rosie Nimmo’s voice trap the listener’s ears in the sweet web of Spider And Fly; thus ensnared, we glide through the Reinhardt/Grappelli mood of Pavlov’s Dog and on to some seriously strong songwriting in the shape of Dangerous, Joy and the title track.
For some time now, the Edinburgh-based singer with Rosy Blue has been storing up songs for a solo release and here it is.
Perhaps the acoustic guitar is a bit rudimentary, too heavy on the strumming, particularly when sitting behind the precise diction and soft caress of Nimmo’s voice; she has the breathy quality of a cocktail jazz seductress, particularly when she slips down into her lower register.
But that’s only a quibble; this is a jazzy, rootsy, laidback concoction that makes good use of subtle arrangements and guest players, particularly Mairi Campbell on fiddle and viola.
Bruce Findlay
“'Lazy and Mellow' is a refreshing and uplifting debut album from Rosie Nimmo...lovely songs, lovely arrangements and a beautiful voice. In the year of 'homecoming' this is an album you'll love coming home to.”

Gig review: Martin Lennon and Rosie Nimmo, Isobar
Taking over at half time, Rosie Nimmo treated the audience to a showcase of songs from her new album, Lazy and Mellow. Including the title track, a whimsical song with the sort of bluesy ease that makes you want to share it with Sunday brunch and the newspapers.
...Blending dark, indie-inspired lyrics with such clear vocals gives Nimmo's work an almost Detroit Blues meets acoustic Nirvana feel to songs including Dangerous and Nothing to Fear. While as She's Flying [sic] and That Shy Girl brought out the girlish fun that infuses many of her lyrics.
Pausing to give the crowd one last song, she sang them the tune her music engineer reckons will be the next 'Peugeot ad'.

Gig review: Rosie Nimmo, Three Harbours Festival, East Lothian
Rosie’s performance at this years Three Harbours Sunset Session was a highpoint of the festival. Her superb vocal range and the personal songs worked very well within the intimate setting of upstairs of The Prestoungrange Gothenburg.
As she sung the song of her daughter leaving home, I could see the sun setting over the Firth of Forth, through the windows of The Goth. It was a touching and beautiful moment at this years Festival.
