Buy Now	She Ain't Me (more) »rank: 5197 by: Carrie Rodriguez :Album Description:Carrie's sophomore release, She Ain't Me, still showcases her intimate croon, but this classically trained singer/songwriter has just begun flexing her artistic muscles. She Ain't Me is an expectation-confounding statement from Carrie, who notes, 'Because I took some chances, wrote with some new people and actually co-wrote most of the songs on the album, it's very different.' For She Ain't Me, the Austin-born, Berklee-trained violinist-turned-fiddler teamed with producer Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith, Kaki King) and wrote with Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, as well as Mary Gauthier, Dan Wilson, and Jim Boquist. The album also features a guest ...	Buy Now	Seven Angels on a Bicycle (more) »rank: 12702 by: Carrie Rodriguez : :Although this is officially singer/fiddler Carrie Rodriguez's solo debut, her musical mentor Chip Taylor--with whom she has recorded three previous discs of duets--is an integral ingredient. Taylor wrote or co-wrote all but one track and is also the album's producer. With Seven Angels on a Bicycle, the partnership that worked so well on Red Dog Tracks, The Trouble With Humans, and Let's Leave This Town has yielded another winner. The songs shift between folk, country, and even jazz, the latter aided by the amazing Bill Frisell, whose delicate, restrained textures and effects create an introspective mood as much as Rodriguez's lovely, ...
Buy Now	The Trouble With Humans (more) »rank: 86477 by: Chip Taylor, Carrie Rodriguez : :Like the relationship between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Sofia Coppola’s film, Lost In Translation, the intergenerational bonding of Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez works in a way that eludes easy analysis. The elder former hit song writer ('Wild Thing,' 'Angel Of The Morning')/professional gambler and the younger singer/fiddler harmonize telepathically, while their vocal timbres compliment each other, matching his Billy Joe Shaver gruffness with her Lucinda Williams attitudinal twang. The Trouble With Humans builds on the back-porch feeling of their debut record with improved sonics that increases the intimacy to a point where the tunes feel almost accidentally overheard. ...

Buy Now	Let's Leave This Town (more) »rank: 121279 by: Chip Taylor, Carrie Rodriguez : :Chip Taylor, the writer of 'Wild Thing' and 'Angel of the Morning,' abandoned his musical career in the '80s to take up professional gambling. Returning in the '90s, he has taken a stripped-down, rootsy approach across a series of sharp releases. This largely acoustic outing of duets with singer-fiddler Carrie Rodriguez proves again that his hiatus hasn't hurt his songwriting: 'Sweet Tequila Blues,' 'Him Who Saved Me,' and the title tune stand with his best work--and up to anyone else's. His calling out for musicians to solo, and the playful comfort exhibited with Ms. Rodriguez, lend an air of casualness to ...
