Carrie Rodriguez will release Love & Circumstance, her third studio album, on April 13, 2010. The CD was produced by Lee Townsend (Bill Frisell, Loudon Wainwright III, John Scofield, Charlie Hunter, Dave Holland) and features her world-class touring band with guest appearances by Bill Frisell, Buddy Miller, Greg Leisz, and Aiofe O'Donovan. For this project, Carrie performs works by songwriters including: Hank Williams, John Hiatt, Richard Thompson, Buddy & Julie Miller, M. Ward, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, Sandrine, David Rodriguez (her father), and Ava Garza (her great Aunt).

The New York Times' Jon Pareles praised Carrie's last album, She Ain't Me: "Her fiddler's vocabulary of old modal melodies centers her songs about faraway loves and spiritual prospects, bringing concision and gravity to every one of them... Behind the sorrows and longing is a determination that’s grounded, implicitly, in tradition."

Beginning February 11th continuing to March 2nd, Carrie will open the Western U.S. leg of Los Lonely Boys' & Alejandro Escovedo's "Acoustic Brotherhood Tour." In addition to Carrie's own sets, she will be joining Alejandro on fiddle for his part of the show. Carrie will celebrate the April 13th release of the record with a New York City performance at Joe's Pub. Please see Tour Dates >>
