Rose Carleo will celebrate one of the biggest coups of her career tomorrow with the release of Sony Music Australia's It's a Blues Thing: A Half A Century of Molten Electric Blues.

Her track, That Season Again, was selected to appear on the two disc set, being one of only 3 female artists on the whole compilation, and amongst a handful of Australian artists - including Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs and Rose Tattoo.

For Rose Carleo, the very idea of appearing on a compilation with the likes of such industry greats as Muddy Waters, Albert King, Gary Moore, Fleetwood Mac, The Animals and one of her personal heroes, Etta James, is completely overwhelming. Adding to her excitement is the fact that each of the tracks were personally selected by the man many call 'the rock brain of the universe', Glenn A Baker.

''I am absolutely thrilled and humbled to be on this compilation,'' Rose said. ''Not only was That Season Again chosen by the one and only Glenn A Baker, but to be included alongside some of the world's most amazing blues performers is truly overwhelming. I'm over the moon.''

Talk music with Rose, who is well known for her own smoldering vocals, and it's not long before she'll mention the huge impact hearing the likes of Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin had on her life and career on stage.

Rose has had much reason to celebrate of late.

On Saturday, February 11, she was declared winner of the Female Vocalist of the Year Award in the National section of the 2012 Victorian & National Country Music Awards. This was hot on the heels of her claiming APRA AMCOS Australian Independent Country Single of the Year award during The Australian Independent Country Music Awards for That Season Again.

''It was a fantastic surprise and very humbling to be recognized by my peers,'' she said of the most recent accolade.

That Season Again (Carleo/McAlister) appeared on Rose Carleo’s sophomore album Life Gets in the Way.
