Nashville似乎是美国乡村音乐的发祥地，它的音乐似乎注定会与乡村民谣有千丝万缕的联系。然而Josh Rouse音乐既然被定义为indie pop那么他固然要区分与country music的范畴。Nahsville曾经是Josh过去十年居住的地方，专辑正是他用歌声编制对Nahsville点滴回忆，这是他给这座城市一封情书，诉说着绵绵情意。
“My Love Has Gone”是Josh Rouse 对破碎的婚姻和远逝感情的反省和追忆。开始的口琴声瞬间引人进入泛黄的记忆，之后的吉他率性扫弦，以无比畅意美妙的旋律来反衬哀伤的情绪。
2004年的这张专辑《Nashville》也是他对自己婚姻和生活过的城市纳什维尔的追忆和告别。
试听：My Love Has Gone - Josh Rouse
歌词：
Love ain't on my side love aint special love aint great
Lost in a fog the but I'm inspired to find my way
Where did you go I still curse you to this day
I miss her smile I miss her laughing in my face
Why don't you come round,
baby I've bean so blue,
and I sleep with the TV on
It's the only sound now love's gone
I will recover I will hear it whisper back
Until then I keep on leg up off the track
Cause he tells you , you are still upon his mind
He'll get around n see you when he finds the time
Why don't you come round,
Baby I've bean so blue,
and I sleep with the TV on
It's the only sound now love's gone
When you come round, baby I've been a fool
And I've already waited so long
So long my love has gone
Why don't you come round
Baby I've bean so blue,
and I sleep with the TV on
It's the only sound now love's gone
When you come round, baby I've been a fool
And I've already waited so long
