Acclaimed young Texas-bred alt-country singer-songwriter whose sultry, engagingly intimate rough-hewn vocals and sly but emotionally frank lyrics often provoke comparisons to Lucinda Williams, with whom she recently toured as the opening act. “There's a real earthiness in both Carrie’s singing and fiddle playing on this series of colourful neo-country songs,” says Mojo critic Colin Irwin. “She’s hot and steamy one minute on the outrageously seductive ‘50s French Movies,’ and pure Nashville the next on the Tammy-esque ‘I Don’t Want to Play House.’” $15.
