Love and Circumstance

Over the years, as part of a duo (with Chip Taylor), a side-woman (with Alejandro Escovedo), and solo artist, Carrie Rodriguez has dazzled critics and audiences alike with her prowess as a musician. And once again, Carrie delivers on Love & Circumstance, embracing twelve songs that have inspired, and influenced her life and music. Carrie wraps herself around songs from influences and peers such as John Hiatt/Nick Lowe/Ry Cooder/Jim Keltner (aka Little Village), Buddy Miller & Julie Miller, David Rodriguez, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Richard Thompson, Townes Van Zandt, M. Ward, Merle Haggard & Bonnie Owens, Hank Williams, Lucinda Williams, and others. She even pays homage to her family heritage with the soulful Spanish ballad "La Pu-ñalada Trapera," popularized in the 1950s by her great-aunt, famed Mexican bolero balladeer Eva Garza. Tracks:1.
