Caitlin Rose brought her dusty alt-country songbook to TT The Bear’s recently, here and tried to warm up the shivering masses on a too-cold Tuesday night. Rose is on the road in support of her second album, cheap The Stand-In, treat released last month to much critical praise. But the 25-year-old Nashville native was none too pleased with the blast of chilly air that accompanied her visit to Cambridge, where the temperature was stuck around 30 degrees. “Do y’all think this weather is as obnoxious as we do, or are you used to it?” she asked (correct answer: yes).

Rose’s songs meander between country, alt-country-rock and Americana, drawing comparisons to everyone from Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt to Jenny Lewis and Iris DeMent. On some of the strongest songs on the new album – “Only a Clown,” “I Was Cruel,” “Dallas,” all of which she played at TT’s – she reveals a well-tuned pop sensibility that comes close to a countrified version of Fleetwood Mac. “One day I’ll be as good a tambourine player as Stevie Nicks,” she joked from the stage. “I have a bulletin board with all my goals on it, and that’s one of them.”

Most of her set favored the new album, including solid takes on “Pink Champagne” and “Old Numbers” – the latter of which is about getting rid of old numbers on your phone. Pardon me, didn’t mean to call/Just can’t help the way my fingers fall. She sprinkled in a few tracks off of her first album, Own Side Now, including a rocking “Shanghai Cigarettes” and a solo version of “Sinful Wishing Well.”

Rose shared the stage with one of the openers, Andrew Combs, for a version of Combs’ song “Too Stoned to Cry,” and closed the night with a cover of an old Buck Owens song, “Tiger By The Tail.”

Combs’ opening set included a half-dozen or so of his country-folk songs, including “Devil’s Got My Woman” (about not getting any) and a new number, “Nashville Blues,” about his current hometown. Local Somerville artist Hayley Thompson-King also played a short opening set of bluesy guitar.
