Carolyn Wonderland was on Austin City Limits tonight. I stumbled onto her about three years and immediately sent for a CD (I know, CDs are so yesterday). She's a little like a Janis Joplin with a hot guitar who writes her own material. As an old Blues lover it's nice to know the kids are still playing it.
A mandolin?
It's amazing that an old Robert Johnson tune written 75 years ago, played virtually note for note, is still fresh.
Wow!! I'm diggin that first one, "Walk On". I haven't heard of her, but of course I haven't been keeping up with the new stuff lately. Is her recorded performances as good as her live performances?
ReplyDeleteDoug of the Northland,
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. She's the real deal. Just when I think it's all going to hell in a Britney basket, someone like this comes along.
The syle is reminicent of that zydeco girl I was so taken with in New Orleans.
