FOLK ALLEY FIRST LISTEN STREAM OF CAMILLA
Monday, August 20, 2012 at 12:52PM Folk Alley is streaming the entirety of Caroline's new album, Camilla. Of course you can listen to a few tracks here on the website (and buy a signed copy!), but why not stream the entire album while you have the chance? Check it out here at http://www.folkalley.com/music/firstlisten/caroline-herring Thanks to Kim Ruehl for the lovely review. Here are a few of her words: There’s something about the way Caroline Herring delivers a line like, “Mama, sweet mama, where are you going with all your babies and that casserole?” Indeed, this is the opening line of “Camilla” – the title track on her new album – and it sets the tone and scene for the rest of the exquisitely written songs included therein. You know even as she’s delivering that line, this isn’t just a single song. This is a world in which women know they must take a casserole with them when they’re trying to appeal to justice. (The next line: “I’m going to the jailhouse in Camilla, Georgia, to see a woman and ask for her parole.”) You can listen to Camilla in the same way you might drive through such a town. ...It’s a difficult world in Herring’s Camilla."

For some of us who have long tried to make a difference in this world it is so wonderful to hear someone who is able to put such moving thoughts to music with such skill that I can say "YES" she knows...also why I do what I do.
Take good care and keep the music coming.
