It is time for #Musicwomenwednesday, My artist this week is
Carson Amanda "Carsie" Blanton (born July 22, 1985) is an American singer-songwriter based in New Jersey, who performs on guitar. Blanton has released eight studio albums and three EPs, all with a "pay what you please" pricing strategy. Blanton wrote "My true calling as an artist is to share…What I actually want to do is make beautiful music and then give it to everyone, regardless of what they give me back."
Fresh Air called Blanton "one of those hard-headed open-hearted protestors who can make revolution sound desirable to your body, even if your mind wants to resist it", in reference to her 2021 album, Love and Rage.
It's been awhile since I posted for #MusicWomenWednesday, but lately Kim Sawol has been on rotation at my place, so let's celebrate her newest release. Her vocal tone is so beautifully gentle. 💜
Hot diggity dawg, the new Oceans of Slumber tune is the absolute top! I love Cammie's new use of the harsh vocals, which pair very well with her soaring cleans. There's just so many great twists and turns here.
Given my penchant for women who owe a lot of their musical stylings to Stevie Nicks, you'd think I would be a bigger Fleetwood Mac fan. (not really my jam)
My Artist this week is Aurora "Rory" Block (born November 6, 1949, in Princeton, New Jersey) is an American blues guitarist and singer, a notable exponent of the country blues style.
