Another Gem From NPR Music: Carrie Rodriguez: Tiny Desk Concert
Seeing a new NPR Tiny Desk Concert at YouTube is always a treat, and this set by Carrie Rodriguez is yet another gem.
May 27, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS • Carrie Rodriguez has been many things: a classically trained violinist turned American fiddler, a duet partner to veteran songwriter Chip Taylor, a successful and popular solo artist in her own right. On occasion, those roles have allowed her Mexican-American roots to bubble to the surface — perhaps in a line sung in Spanish, or through a reference to a classic mariachi song.
On her new album Lola, Rodriguez’s bi-cultural life blossoms into a spectacular collection of stories and songs, several of which she included in this Tiny Desk concert with guitarist Luke Jacobs.
