Carrie Rodriguez Releasing New Album in January

Produced by Lee Townsend (Bill Frisell, Loudon Wainwright III, Kelly Joe Phelps) at Berkeley's Fantasy Studios and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound NYC, the record also features frequent collaborator Chip Taylor in a set that marries Rodriguez's Texas background with a decade spent in Brooklyn, NY.

"These new original tunes run the gamut of intense emotions, from heartache to budding new love, from betrayal to resigned acceptance, and finally to the sheer joy of simply being alive," she says. "For the first time, I feel that the passionate spirit of my live show has truly been captured in a studio album."
