Sonically, The Happiness Waltz (Josh Rouse's ninth studio album, out now on Yep Roc) could easily find a home on the AM radio of the late 1970's, nestled between some of the biggest songs of the day. Lyrically, the album is very much of the present, featuring some of Rouse's most personal songs to date.

Also catch Josh Rouse at the Great American Music Hall on June 21st.
