Reception

The EP received limited media coverage and radio airplay. “...stark country-soul and shimmering blues ...a direct line to the heart that showcases her glorious voice " No Depression 'The spareness of the sound has an authenticity, sincerity and purity of purpose that harks back to the likes of Woody Guthrie. This is folk music. Or country, real country, before that moniker meant chart-topping pseudo-rock that’s had the soul sucked out of it, so it’s but a desiccated skeleton. Carmen is the mistress of evocation. Perhaps it’s her sense of the cinematic that enables her to suggest pictures worth a thousand, from precious few words. And make each and every album a discrete episode in her musical life, with its own distinct atmosphere' Something You Said
