"Herring's vocals are clear and lovely, evoking the classic voices of Baez, Collins, and Mitchell, yet grounded in the country dirt of Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, and Eliza Gilkyson."
-Dirty Linen Magazine
Caroline Herring is a Mississippi-born, Atlanta-based singer/songwriter. She started her career in Austin, TX, where she won the 2002 Best New Artist award in both the Austin American-Statesman and the Austin Chronicle. There she released two albums: Twilight (2001) and Wellspring (2003). Herring relocated to Atlanta, and recently she won the 2008 Best Singer/songwriter award in Atlanta’s Creative Loafing.
In 2008, Herring released her outstanding album Lantana (Signature Sounds), a highly acclaimed thematic album based on the lives of various women, mostly Southern. Her latest release Is Golden Apples of the Sun on Signature Sounds.
According to Fish records(UK),"The beautiful songs and guitar work form the framework for her vocals, and on ‘Golden Apples of the Sun’ she’s never sounded better, there’s a delicacy and world-weariness that makes her perfect for emotionally powerful songs; there are moments here that are breathtaking in their power and simplicity.
"For the last few years Caroline Herring has been one of the best low-key singer/songwriters around, and this album shows a confidence and power that will bring her to a wider audience."

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Thanks for the heads up Caroline. Needless to say I will be getting you new album of songs. I'll keep a look out for when you are next up my way too. Jamming Java is just a stone's throw from where I live...so long as you can throw it twenty miles or so. Keep the songs coming by the way. I truly can't get enough. - Jeff Gilpin PS - I have 1 song out there on the market now if you want to check it out. it's called Looking Up and availible on iTunes, Amazon, etc... I would love to hear what you think of it. thanks -jg
