Carolyn Wonderland – Tempting Fate (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Houston raised Carolyn Wonderland has spent decades earning her stripes on the Texas roadhouse circuit, building a reputation as one of the most electrifying live performers in contemporary blues. Her stint as the first woman to hold the lead guitarist chair in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers placed her in a lineage that runs straight through British and American blues history, and Dave Alvin's production on this one keeps everything honest and road-worn.
"With incendiary guitar chops and raw, powerful vocals, fiery Texas blues rocker Carolyn Wonderland draws instant comparisons to fellow Texans Stevie Ray Vaughan and Janis Joplin." ::: Blistering guitarist, fire-breathing singer and gifted songwriter releases an exuberant and astonishing collection of songs, deeply rooted, yet fired by a rocker's sensibility. The Houston, Texas native just left blues great John Mayall's Blues Breakers as first female lead guitarist in a band whose previous lead players include Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Peter Green. Tempting Fate was produced by Dave Alvin, with guest appearances by Alvin, Marcia Ball and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The tracks pit brilliant originals with revelatory versions of songs by Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, John Mayall and Billy Joe Shaver.
