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

[@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.

[@VonBluesman]

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

[@jeffpblues]

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

[@juanmiguellopezmiguelez5651]

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

[@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.

[@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.

I love her, I love her, I love her, I'm coming to Austin to see her live. I live in the great State of Georgia, But have been working in the Middle East for over a year now. I can't think of anything better to do in my two weeks home other than drive to Texas and see her live.

Never heard of this girl till today. FANTASTIC!!! I love youtube.

[@bluesguitarplayer1694]

Excellent - Keeping Blues Alive and Well - and with Great Style 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]

Yes!

[@garykruger3195]

[@heykaz]

[@wordsmith9124]

Wow, this lady rocks! Great voice, too.

[@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.

[@philwebb9763]

Perfect! Knew I would like her set as soon as I heard her start singing!

Holy smoke, that solo is hot and along with the whole vibe of a great performance.

[@zuke-ci4vd]

The absolute epitome of Blues.

[@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!
