This is a special CD indeed. Carol has a beautiful smoky, rich & lilting voice that she deploys in a sensual bluesey manner. Recorded in a small German town, deep down in the depths of a 500 year old wine cellar, the intimacy & subtle detail is magnified on this seven track debut. She has that captivating burnished style of vocal like Beth Gibbons, Nina Nastasia, Hope Sandoval or Karen Dalton. Her songs are sad acoustic lullabies that will live in your head days after. I can't believe this is her debut! If she's not a star player on the folk circuit in the next couple of years I'll be genuinely surprised. This first press sold out in hours. There is the regular version, however, limited to 150 copies......
