Stellar! I just shared this with a blues board, and people in the Czech Republic. France and Germany love it. So do i!

[@danskweir385]

"Thank you kindly" - what a gracious, yet totally kick-ass lady! Carolyn always blows everyone away and is so humble.

[@b2c095]

Carolyn has long been a favorite here in Austin. Glad the rest of the world is seeing how great she is.

Been attending her performances since '93 in Houstoned TexXxas !!!❤❤❤

[@tupunavee]

I personally found her 10 yrs ago and loved her since. Her strong voice and great guitar playing skills. Hope to see her one day here in Finland. ❤

[@VonBluesman]

Carolyn is a Texas Blues Queen, she put on a great show with John Mayall at the New Orleans Jazz Fest in 2018.

[@Nnmtes]

Carolyn is awesome. A real blues player and singer. I love her raw and honest style.

[@SteveTx76]

Traces Of Texas led me here, and I am so glad he did. This is good for the soul!

[@InterWebGuy99]

Your singing brings back thoughts of Janis Joplin and that's a high compliment! You had me subbed even before I saw your salute to our troops. How wonderful it is to see there are still people out there who respect and recognize our military. God Bless you and keep you, Carolyn Wonderland.

I love this song! I love this artist! The MC got it right! Can you feel it as much as she does? I feel it deep down in my soul. That's the measure of greatness in my book!

[@gasar8964]

This lady is so talented , she's got so much soul & feeling for the Blues !

[@anthonypina8034]

Great vocals and emotional guitar playing. She reminds me of Susan Tedeschi (another gifted singer and guitarist). It is great to see true talent like this given a forum--I hope that she becomes world famous.

[@GraemeBlore]

Beautifully performed Carolyn. Tremendous bluesy powerful vocals.

Hondo, amidst all of the crap that is our 24 hour news cycle, I appreciate that you take the time to remind me of old favorites and expose me to new artists (like this one). Cheers.

[@gracie9501]

I'm lucky enough to have seen Carolyn LIVE - LORD-have-MERCY this gal TEARS UP them BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davisworth5114]

great song, great performance, young woman assures the blues will never die, playing Chinese Telly which trumps all the same old Strats, I've got this guitar, it's my first grab, Jay Turser makes one just as nice and a bit lighter, at volume they really sing. Way to go Carolyn, God bless.

[@AnnihilatingAngel]

A great, powerful singer - AND an excellent guitarist too? This lady's got the total musical package

[@pennking7050]

Used to go see her at the Last Concert in Houston. Late 80's, early 90's? I've loved her forever!!!

[@JediMasterDale]

Thank You Blues Guitar Goddess!! Such excellent singing!! Very tight chops delivered with extreme accuracy. I really didn't think the Tele was going to sound as good as it did. However, since I hear with my ears and not my eyes, for me the difference is insignificant. Please upload more of your work!

[@silversurfer100]

Oh WOW! She nails it with both voice and guitar.

[@zeeeOgre]

Crazy good song. Crazy good playing. Class act. Authentic. Thanks for the post!

[@seamusjones5516]

Maravilloso, muchas gracias por compartir tu arte.

[@kevindunne6520]

I love your work.

[@wordsmith9124]

Wow, this lady rocks! Great voice, too.

[@morganrieder6281]

She's like Samantha Fish: she plays jaw-dropping guitar and sings like a blues angel. We need more blueswomen like her.

[@RyshusMojo1]

Yeah Ima hafta say it's more the other way around: Fish is like her. The Goddess Wonderland has been around a while. I used to watch her shows in Galveston at this crazy, crazy juke joint on The Strand called F. A. Skippy's, that was 25 years ago.

[@jakenash480]

TrueDat- Except Carolyn CAN sing!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]
