For those not in the know, Rags Rosenberg During his 14 years in Nashville, he learned how to write songs from the masters. But Rags wasn’t interested in becoming a trend writer, and, in 2008, he moved to a small cabin in Joshua Tree and returned to the timeless music he loved: Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, John Prine – the poets. After 10 years in the desert he produced his first album, Flower Time, a late-bloomer’s anthem.

Now, 10 years after Flower Time, comes Song of the Bricoleur (due out September 19th, 2025), an album of forgotten soldiers and fading gods. Rooted in folk and Americana traditions, the album draws from the uncertainty of modern life, the unraveling of old traditions and institutions, and the notion that maybe we can imagine a different, more humane future into existence.

From Carmel-by-the-Sea comes Rags Rosenberg, a man with comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and John Prine, who opens his new recording on the beautifully immersive lead single Bullfrogs and the dutiful troubadour tale within California Bound and then comes the low slung piano ballad Catherine’s Song, the windswept Eye On You and both the earthy Flower Time and the forthright tale of John Doe.

Along next is the intimate storytelling within Smokey Joe’s and the all-embracing title track Song of the Bricoleur and they are in turn backed by the emotive These Bones, the slow blues build of the impassioned Ticket to the Game, the set rounding out on the honorable True Believer, coming to a close on the spoken word that embodies our current stance within this digital world The Code.
