Carolyn Wonderland Truth Is (LP)

(Alligator Records) 12 tracks

The fiery guitar heroine, lap steel virtuoso, lightning-fast songwriter, and fiery singer has been recording critically acclaimed albums and touring the world for almost 25 years. She plays her original, bluesy, cosmic country soul music mixed with a healthy dose of Tex-Mex and riff-driven rock ‘n’ roll. The 12 tracks on the album (including 10 new Wonderland originals or co-writes) convey the honest truth of the blues in vividly detailed, infectious songs, all driven by Wonderland's distinctive string work and her full-throated vocals.
