NEW ARTICLE IN UK'S THE TWISTED SOUTH

Thanks to Silas House for his wonderful article, entitled The Beautiful Reality of Caroline Herring, which appears in the August issue of Twisted South Magazine, a UK publication. " Caroline Herring is the South’s most underrated singer-songwriter.  Her songs are interesting, intricate, and manage to find the epic in the small-town lives of everyday heroes and villains. In many ways, Herring operates more like a short story master or poet than a modern-day folk singer. In a culture that celebrates wealthy talentless reality stars instead of real people, Herring writes and performs songs about the forgotten heroes of the Civil Rights movement, schizophrenic painters, mothers who commit murder, and songs inspired or influenced by literary writers like Eudora Welty and Larry Brown. In an increasingly un-literary America, her songs are not the easiest sells, but that’s what makes her music so wonderful.  She refuses to be categorized or dumbed down, but she also will not thumb her nose at the zeitgeist."
