Caroline Herring

From her 2001 debut Twilight and its immediate successor Wellspring (2003) to the widely acclaimed Lantana (2008), Herring’s music has been hailed for combining traditional sounds with striking, original observations into modern life and love.

The Austin Chronicle proclaimed Lantana to be “the best modern Southern Gothic album since Lucinda Williams’ Sweet Old World.” On Golden Apples of the Sun,her soon to be released 4th album, Herring stakes out new terrain, exchanging the country-influenced sound of her previous albums for a darker, hauntingly personal sound inspired by the iconic female folk singers and songwriters of the 1960s and 70s. “There’s no getting rid of my accent,” she says slyly, “but other than that, this is not a twangy record. It’s not roots-based.” The new record suggests that Herring has been as much influenced by classic songstresses such as Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins as by her native Southland.
