my pourin’ tears are running wild
I’ve been told by a few friends to keep my ears open for Caroline Smith & The Goodnight Sleeps, but I hadn’t really listened until I came across this blues cover today (originally made popular by our good soul-soother/breaker, Ray Charles). It gives me all sorts of chills. Listen to her wail — I love it when musicians surprise me.
Drown In My Own Tears
live at Rock Shop, Brooklyn (Oct 11, 2011)
Caroline’s from Minneapolis, and her sophomore album Little Wind is out now on United Interests. Two songs from that:

Loving it, mere hours after this post the band agreed to do a house concert for us. Woot!

I’ve loved these guys since I first heard their Daytrotter session a (pretty long) while back. Thanks for sharing the new stuff!

Man, I saw her at the hi-dive a few months ago and her and the band just BLEW me away. Super cool boulder record label too.
