"Pretty Pink Rose" comes from Young Lions, Adrian Belew's 1990 album, and it arrives with a famous guest attached: David Bowie wrote it, words and music, and shows up to share the lead vocal with Belew. It's a meeting of two restless minds, and Belew clearly treated it as his own show. He produced the track and plays guitar, bass, keyboards and synthesizer on it, with Rich Denhart engineering.
