Caroline Aiken Are We There Yet, Mama? CD

What Reviewers are saying about Caroline Aiken’s latest CD, “Are We There Yet Mama?”"Aiken's guitar work is astonishing, especially as much of it is on 12 strings...making this disc required listening for anyone who thinks s/he plays the blues or owns a 12 string. ...This is a great record, far more enjoyable than the big-label fodder" - Tom Petersen, Victory Review Magazine, Seattle Washington, Dec 2005“Caroline Aiken, often sighted as one of the cornerstones of the Decatur folk movement, has long been at the forefront of modern folk and acoustic expression, ... and her soothing, fine wood-grain voice purrs with a youthful innocence one minute, then growls like a wise old blue singer the next, marking each song with her trademark, time-honed stamp of quality...”- Lee Valentine Smith, Creative Loafing Magazine"Caroline Aiken is poised to be a radio 'break-out' artist during the upcoming year! Her new CD "Are We There Yet, Mama?" is a perfect mix of superb songwriting, stellar musicianship and vocal stylings.
