Editorial Reviews

Caroline Herring, a Georgia resident by way of Austin, TX, is a Mississippi native known for her lyrical and inventive songwriting, her soothing vibrato, and her elegant melodies. On Camilla, her sixth full length release, Herring has created her most profound album yet, a collection of ten complex, modern, tradition-influenced compositions about love and hate and everything in between. Since her debut in 2001, Herring has gained a devoted following and has been embraced by tastemakers like NPR, Oxford American and A Prairie Home Companion. Herring has been compared to Lucinda Williams (Austin American Statesman), Joan Baez (Asheville Citizen Times) and Steve Earle (Paste Magazine). Although the comparisons are apt, Herring has developed her own signature sound that comes to full manifestation on Camilla, a career-defining record. "I feel braver on this album, and I feel it represents me wholly," she says.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music! September 18, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Caroline Herring has been one of my favorite female singer/songwriters since her first album, and she just keeps getting better. She has the voice of an angel, and her lyrics are spellbinding. The predominant themes in this album are racism, discrimination, and struggle. There is no "fluff" here. This one will challenge you - and make you think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touches the Soul September 28, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've always loved Caroline's style, but with this album, she's seems to have really found her voice (no pun intended). The backups are great, but what is most lovely is to hear this artist and song-writer move toward the blues, which I think may be her true calling. She's labeled as "folk" and sometimes flirts with "country" but "Camilla" is much closer to real blues, and I think Caroline may be one of the contemporary Southern Women of the Blues. I like this cd more every time I listen to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plaintive mix of country, folk and blues December 30, 2012
Format:MP3 Music
As fine as was 2009's Golden Apples Of The Sun, Herring's latest release is even more completely her own. In addition to writing ten of the album's songs, she's reanimated the eleventh, "Flee as a Bird," from a mid-nineteenth century hymn book. Her music is given added muscle by producer Erick Jaskowiak and a backing band (including guitar, pedal steel, fiddle, banjo, bass and drums) that leans more to country than folk. Her vibrato, reminiscent of Buffy St. Marie and Joan Baez, remains a plaintive instrument whose tone is as telling as its words. Her songs are literate and historical, telling of injustice, greed, and inextinguishable hope that intertwines the struggles and accomplishments that have threaded through country, folk and blues. Her stories highlight moments of redemption, triumph and peace against a backdrop of turmoil and grief, but tears - whether of anguish or relief - are never far away. Herring welcomes Claire Holly, Katherine Roberts and Jackie Oates as harmony vocalists, and an a cappella turn with Mary Chapin Carpenter and Aoife O'Donovan on "Traveling Shoes" is especially fine. Herring's fans will enjoy this next chapter, and those new to her work will be quickly motivated to explore the back catalog. [©2012 Hyperbolium]
