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

[@b2c095]

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

[@VonBluesman]

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

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!

[@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.

[@jamesvarner9649]

Great stuff. She has the fire for greatness.......

[@WR250Fumper]

Love her picking style. Very wild freeform and powerful effect...

[@Nnmtes]

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

[@danskweir385]

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

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

so proud of her, saw her in Houston playing local clubs, bought 6 of her albums, great work--she had great band called Imperial Monkees, fun to see them play--miss them a lot

[@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.

[@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.

[@tompelley949]

Dear Carolyn Wonderland, that is very very cool!

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

She played at our blues fest on the 22nd in Fort Smith,Arkansas and even though the heat was getting to her,she continued to perform..She still put on a great show..

[@picturegracecolb5525]

Enjoyed Carolyn's Concert at Knuckleheads in Kansas City a few weeks ago, hope she visits us again soon! May 27, 2018 Jimmy Nace and T.J. Erhardt, of the NACE BROTHERS Band, sang a song with her...it was a great night! Thanks for the music! God Bless your hearts and souls!

[@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!

[@michelwolff6476]

Lorraine Ashby Merci, merci à l' infini, Lorraine! Tu me fais découvrir des musiciens fantastiques, tels que ceux- ci. Carolyn Wonderland est Vraiment dans l' esprit, dans la lignée des stars de la scène BLUES. J Aime beaucoup ce qu' elle chante et joue, avec un super feeling. J 'espère que tu es en bonne forme ainsi que toute ta famille. Merci pour toutes tes vidéos sur G+, c' est que du bonheur. Cela me permet de bien apprendre aussi, car la création musicale et instrumentale requiert beaucoup d' attention, de travail, de repetitions.Je t' embrasse bien fort bien chère Lorraine, ton ami, michel

[@LorraineAshby]

michel wolff Hi Michel - where have you been my friend ? This is a nice surprise - I have left many comments but when you did not respond I thought you didn't like me. I am OK thank you - yes I like Carolyn Wonderland she has an amazing voice and is a brilliant guitarist. Best wishes to you and your family ~ Lorraine

[@michelwolff6476]

Oh excuse ME, I am very sorry, Lorraine, I have many, many work since 3 months in my office, and I had no real time to write on G+. Now it will be better, I think that I will be free to speak more on G+. I don' t forget you, I will never, don' t be afraid! You are my best friend, and I have a great respect and much consideration for you and Dominik! Big HUGS to You, My dear Lorraine.

[@LorraineAshby]
