Blues Guitar Goddess - Carolyn Wonderland


She may be well-known (and beloved) in her adopted home of Austin, this Houston-native has the goods. As a songwriter, singer and guitarist, she has a pedigree in this business that's hard to match. Incorporating elements of Blues, Country, Swing, Zydeco, Surf, Gospel, Soul, and some nights, maybe even a Cumbia into the musical mix, you never know what you're going to get but you know you'll love it.


The collaboration that yielded "Miss Understood", Carolyn's 7th album, came from a casual question from Bob Dylan, asking about Wonderland when had lunch in 2005 with Ray Benson. Well, he did found out about her. He found out so well that he serves as producer on the album as well as a performer and writer on some tracks.
