Rosie Thomas "When We Were Small" (2002)

An intimate collection of songs of love & loss.  While the songwriting is in the confessional folk vein, the instrumentation is perhaps surprisingly piano based.  A quite lovely little album.

Rosie Thomas "Only With Laughter Can You Win" (2003)

From the opening multitracked vocals, you can tell this is a much slicker proposition than "These Friends".  The vibe here is closer to mid 70s AOR.  It's not that it's bad, it just lacks the intimate charm of "These Friends".

Rosie Thomas "These Friends of Mine" (2007)

This is an underapreciated indie folk gem.  A quiet, intimate album of songs about friendship & love.  Sufjan Stevens sits in on several tracks, & seemingly was contributed to the arrangement of some others.  Quite charming.
