While having one more side than Ms. Wiley in his oeuvre, nothing more is known about the man, not even if he was black or white! If anything, Rose's work shows the inanity of designating music of his time period as being either "black" or "white"; country or blues. "Jamestown Exhibition" shares as much with the (white) Frank Hutchinson's bluesy slide guitar as it does with the (black) Mississippi John Hurt's "countrified" picking.

Trainsy, light and skippy with a tinge blues to give it soul slide.

His presence at a black recording session (with Walter Cole, Richmond, IN, September 1930) suggests that he was black. It seems likely that he was the Bayless (or Bayles or Bayliss or Baylus) Rose (1890–1986) born in KY who was a coal miner in the 1920s and thus enumerated in the 1930 census, when he was living in Hazard, KY. By 1931, he was living in Lexington, KY, where he probably remained until his death.
