"Carolyn Wonderland is the real deal! She's an amazing guitar player. She whistled a solo. She even played the trumpet!
And damn, can she sing." -
Los Angeles Times
"A dollop of Janis Joplin, a slice of Stevie Ray Vaughan,
and a big load of soulful individuality... that's Wonderland,
a seething-hot Texas singer-guitarist. And she can write, too!
Produced by Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson, Miss Understood
focuses on tough yet vulnerable blues, but also captures the melodic
soul of classic American song... No wonder Dylan is an avowed fan." -
Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald
"When she blisters the guitar and cocks
her head fetchingly to sing her songs
like "I'm Innocent" she stands in the
good company of Sue Foley, Debbie
Davies, and Bonnie Raitt. But when she
whistles, as she does with disarming
ease on another of her compositions
"I'm the Man," or picks up the trumpet,
she's one of a kind." -
Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle
"Stated plainly,
Wonderland...has one of the
most impressively powerful
voices recently heard anywhere,
regardless of sex.
Able to boom, cajole, promise,
growl, and wheedle
with equal power, she
plays guitar with
much the same forcefulness..." -
Matt Weitz, Dallas Observer
"Carolyn Wonderland's live shows are just
outright phenomenal. Top notch, five-stars,
off the meter - whatever the clich., Carolyn
and her band meet it...Her voice can be as
beautiful as an angel and as powerful as a
Class 5 hurricane all within the drop of a
hat...One thing's for certain, some forces -
even those barely five feet tall - cannot be
contained." -
Dante Dominick,
Rockzillaworld Magazine
"Based in Austin, Texas, (Carolyn's)
unique combination of musical mastery
adds to the state's impressive legacy of
sonic genius...Wonderland is also an
insightful, gutsy, intelligent songwriter
with an extremely versatile talent that
spans just about every genre you can
name...I am happy to report that at last
count my total Carolyn mileage is as
follows: 2,304 driving miles and 19,544
flying miles. Trust me - if you ever see
them live, you'll understand!" -
