I have to say I am very impressed. Shes got something unique in her voice thats very subtle and a little smoky and sweet. Shes got a refreshingly spunky attitude to go along with it. I detect a certain wisdom in her, and yet a sense of wonder as well.- - Lucinda Williams / New York Times (February 4, 2007) **** (4 stars)
Carrie Rodriguez is paired with Chip Taylor on the new Trainwreck Records release Live From The Ruhr Triennale available now. The album was recorded in 2005 in Germany and includes guest appearances from fellow Rosebud artist Bill Frisell, Buddy Miller and Greg Leisz. On the CD, Carrie and Chip cover Johnny Cashs Big River, Chuck Berrys Maybellene and a handful of Chip Taylor original songs. Carrie is also featured (with Tim Easton on guitar) on the new Neil Young inspired Uncut sampler performing an achingly beautiful cover of Youngs Cortez The Killer. Other artists included on the sampler include The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth and Cowboy Junkies. The CD sampler Like A Hurricane - Tribute to Neil Young can be found with the December 07 issue of Uncut on stands now. Carrie Rodriguez Signs With Rosebud The Rosebud Agency is proud to announce the signing of Carrie Rodriguez for exclusive worldwide representation (excluding Holland and the U.K.) The soulful singer, songwriter and fiddler grew up in Austin, Texas, and now calls Brooklyn, N.Y., home. She released her solo debut album, Seven Angels on a Bicycle, last August on Back Porch Records / EMI with contributions from fellow Rosebud artist Bill Frisell, Chip Taylor and others. No Depression called the album "mesmerizing ... The confident way she leads this ensemble through sessions that mix country, soul, jazz and avant-garde sounds is remarkable." Carrie is supporting Lucinda Williams in April and headlining in Europe through mid-May, with plans to tour extensively for the foreseeable future. |
