Follow on Google News | Austin, Texas Artist Carolyn Wonderland On Tour in 2008Caroline Wonderland to promote new release on Bimeaux Productions label entitled Miss Understood.
By: Just Roots PR Also, Carolyn has been selected to perform for her hometown’s most famous musical export, Austin City Limits (to be broadcast in the Fall of 2008 on PBS Television). Produced by nine-time Grammy winner Ray Benson, Miss Understood has helped one of Austin’s best-kept secrets burst onto the national scene. It was just a matter of time, as her critically acclaimed 2003 release Bloodless Revolution, as well as a run of legendary live shows, has established her as the heir-apparent of Texas blues legends. The Austin Chronicle calls Miss Understood “a mighty and joyous performance.” Benson jumped at the chance to produce Wonderland, shortly after learning that she was a favorite of Bob Dylan’s, “I’ve always loved what Carolyn does with her voice and she learned guitar from all those great Houston blues guys. But Bob convinced me that now was her time.” The album features six new songs from Carolyn (two of which she shares writing credits with Benson), and rare gems from Bruce Robison, JJ Cale, Rick Derringer, Lloyd Maines and Terri Hendrix. The Houston Press agrees with the results: “Benson keeps it simple and tight, finally making a record that captures Wonderland’s live essence and her stupendous Bessie Smith-like emotional range.” Wonderland's songs have been featured on network dramas including NBC's “Homicide” Additional Tour Information Complete itinerary available at: MySpace.com/ CarolynWonderland.com and ReverbNation.com/ Additional Quotes “You hear Wonderland’s guitar and think ‘Lawdy, momma, light my fuse.’” ~ Austin American Statesman “If capturing Wonderland’s stage magic was the goal, both artist and producer hit the bull’s-eye.” ~ Texas Music Magazine “She’s an amazing guitar player. She whistled a solo. She even played the trumpet! And damn, can she sing. If Jack White is looking to partner up with another veteran female singer the same way he backed and produced Loretta Lynn… he should beeline it to Austin and team up with Carolyn Wonderland.” For additional information Dan Skarbek Carolyn Wonderland "Miss Understood" Bismeaux Records, Bismeaux Productions PO Box 463 Austin, TX 78767 http://www.carolynwonderland.com/ http://www.austin360.com/ http://www.austinchronicle.com/ YouTube Video: Miss Understood - Bismeaux Productions Video http://www.youtube.com/ Dutch TV Profile/Interview @ Het Huis Verloren, Hoon, Holland http://www.youtube.com/ Judgement Day Blues @ Austin Freedom Festival http://www.youtube.com/ Jusgement Day Blues @ Dan Electro's http://www.youtube.com/ Still Alive and Well @ Antone's http://www.youtube.com/ The Wind Cries Mary http://www.youtube.com/ I Live Alone With Someone @ Winter Park Blues From The Top Blues Festival http://www.youtube.com/ Bad Girl http://www.youtube.com/ # # # This press release has been distributed by Just Roots PR http://www.justrootspr.com It may be used in whole or in part providing all pertinent facts remain unchanged, all names duly noted, and credit is given to Just Roots PR.
