Carrie Rodriguez To Tour With Lucinda Williams

Texas-bred singer/songwriter Carrie Rodriguez received just about the greatest compliment a rootsy artist such as herself can get when Lucinda Williams wrote of her in the January 27 edition of the New York Times: "She's got something unique in her voice that's very subtle and a little smoky and sweet ... I detect a certain wisdom in her, and yet a sense of wonder as well."

One month later, and Williams’ admiration has already transformed from a distant appreciation to a spot on her upcoming tour.

Rodriguez, whose Back Porch debut Seven Angels On A Bicycle hit shelves in August, will join Lucinda for nine April shows scattered among the eastern U.S. Rodriguez’s touring band will include Hands Holzen on electric guitar, Kyle Kegerreis on stand-up bass and Sam Baker on drums. Oh, and she’ll play fiddle and mandobird.
