"Carrie Rodriguez knows all about living in a man's world. The sultry singer-songwriter has been hanging with the opposite sex ever since she was discovered by Chip Taylor at Austin's South By Southwest in 2001. Being one of the boys doesn't seem to be a problem, though, for the constantly moving Rodriguez, who is back on the road this April promoting her third studio solo album. A calm but comforting collection of covers, Love and Circumstance was released April 13 by her new label. Just a little more than a month ago, the classically trained violinist turned fiery fiddler (who also plays electric mandolin and tenor guitar), served as a supporting sister figure on the Acoustic Brotherhood Tour. As the lone woman appearing on the same stage with a Tex-Mex mix of machismo that included Alejandro Escovedo and Los Lonely Boys, Rodriguez was well-received during a short but sweet warm-up set March 1 at the Boulder Theater in Colorado. More..." — Michael Bialas, The Huffington Post
"When a well-established songwriter makes a covers album, listeners often assume it's a chance for the songwriter to pay relaxed homage to his or her influences. (John Lennon was quite relaxed for at least part of 1975's "Rock 'n' Roll," which was begun in the midst of heavy drinking.) When a lesser-known songwriter such as Carrie Rodriguez makes a covers album (and only her third solo album overall), it's a more daring proposition. However, her experienced musical mind guides her song choices, and her lovely, lucid voice does the rest. Lee Townsend's production is at once lush and simple, allowing Rodriguez the space necessary to interpret not only standards (Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry") but also relatively obscure songs (Little Village's "Big Love," M. Ward's "Eyes on the Prize"). She serves the selections best by treating them as if they were her own: with delight and care." — Jon M. Gilbertson, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
