‘China Rose’ reveals a new depth and dimension of Gary Dranow’s upcoming double album. The master artist of folk, rock, and blues blends it all in a creative ratio to form a folk-rock adjacent composition. The track is a musical tale that depicts a teenager’s dreams amidst communist China. Caught in a whirlwind of politics, dreams, and world order that is beyond her control, the song explores themes like freedom, resilience, and longing.
