Biography

Three early reviews on LIVE IN LOUISVILLE, Worldwide Digital Release – November 24th

“...a masterpiece of erotic persuasion,
a haunting meditation of rhythmic sounds.
...a work of voodoo.”
- Shelton Ivany / National News Bureau

“Flirty, dirty and pretty,
Live in Louisville is Rodriguez at her best.”
- Michael Swanger/Des Moines Cityview

“The cinematic scope of "Mask of Moses"
and the overly sexual "50's French Movie"
will have some listeners thinking Nickel Creek has melted
into Sonic Youth.”
- Gene Armstrong/Tucson Weekly

“Austin-based singer/songwriter/fiddler Carrie Rodriguez and company opened the show with a glowing, moody set, full of reverb, breathy vocals and minimalist, impressively smart songs from her recent CD "Seven Angels on a Bicycle." She earned every bit of the enthusiastic standing ovation she received.”
- Marty Rosen / The Louisville Courier-Journal
from his review of Lucinda William’s show (4/26/07)

“Fiddler and singer/songwriter Carrie Rodriguez is a breath of fresh air in the too-often stale and stuffy cupboard of American acoustic music. Radio stamps like Americana, chick-rock, and new traditionalist don’t come close to all that she’s doing in that overlooked vacant lot between straight-up rock and instrumental virtuosity. Though she hangs with bona fides like Gary Louris and Lucinda Williams and Alejandro Escovedo, Rodriguez has the brains and balls to go after music as if she’s never heard anyone else make it before.”
- Chris Barrett / Metropulse (Knoxville, TN) 2/20/09

LIVE IN LOUISVILLE is available physically via Carrie’s website (www.carrierodriguez.com), her shows, and at Waterloo Records in Austin, TX and Ear X Tacy in Louisville, KY (while supplies last). The worldwide digital release date is November 24, 2009.

LIVE IN LOUISVILLE was available to radio exclusively via Airplay Direct, from March until mid-October 2009, and will be serviced physically to the Americana & AAA radio formats in the US in mid-October. It will continue to be available via Airplay Direct for radio outside the US and other formats.

LIVE IN LOUISVILLE was recorded in April 2007 during Carrie’s tour with Lucinda Williams. Needless to say, it she and her band rose to the occasion. It features her full 12 song set from that night, two of which are Carrie live favorites that appear here on CD for the first time: her cover of “You Won’t Be Satisfied (That Way)” and the instrumental, “Blackberry Blossom”. Other highlights include the performance of “Big Kiss,” and a rockin’ live version of “50’s French Movie.” To quote Carrie, “this (tour) was truly a life altering experience!”
