Tim Rose was an American singer and songwriter, best known for his folk-rock sound and distinctive, husky vocals. He gained prominence in the mid-1960s for his interpretations of songs like "Hey Joe" and "Morning Dew," which became influential in the folk-rock genre. Rose's music was characterized by a fusion of rock, blues, and folk, and his unique interpretations of popular songs often overshadowed the original versions. Despite his early success, Rose's influence on music is often overlooked, although his style had a profound impact on artists such as Nick Cave and Robert Plant.
