Rosamund Oliver

The first album of the St Louis band Prairie Rehab, Philology, contains a very unexpected song about ... Rosamund Oliver, St John Rivers's hopeless inamorata in Jane Eyre.

The RiverFront Times gives more information:
The band is aided by a few local hired guns — Grace Basement's Kevin Buckley (fiddle) and the Feed's Dave Grelle (keys) add some color and depth, as does the Funky Butt Brass Band's horn section. The guest musicians step up on the standout closing track "Rosamond Oliver," a saxophone and Hammond B3-fueled slow-burner that suggests a whole host of other possibilities for the band. Not bad for a tune based on a minor character from Jane Eyre. (Christian Schaeffer)

    That is quite amazing. I want to hear the lyric, and wonder what the inspiration could mean? Rose of the world indeed!
