Blue Rose was a bluegrass combo that continued to break the traditional, male modes of the genre with its all-female lineup. The group was comprised of dobroist Sally Van Meter; renowned fiddler
Laurie Lewis; banjoist
Cathy Fink; the guitar and mandolin of
Marcy Marxer; and bassist Molly Mason.
Blue Rose's lone release was a self-titled affair on Sugar Hill in 1972;
Fink and
Lewis contributed lead vocals to the project, which included a swinging take on the obscure
Hank Williams number "Blue Love." ~ Johnny Loftus
