"Crafted with timeless elegance and graceful confidence, Caroline Herring's Lantana is the best modern Southern Gothic since Lucinda Williams' Sweet Old World."

Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle

“The possessor of a gorgeous voice that is both pure and earthy, the Mississippi-born singer/songwriter has, in Wellspring, delivered a roots-oriented album that begs to be heard, right from the opening Trace. An acoustic offering, it paints a description of Natchez farm life and sharecropping memories that is stunning in its sheer simplicity. From there, she moves around the South both lyrically and in terms of reference, strutting ably throughout her Texas Two Step but reserving her most potent observations for Mistress, the story of an ill-used slave. Remarkable.”

-Fred Dellar, Q Magazine (England) - Four star review

"Herring's simple melodies and uncomplicated stories, accompanied mostly by acoustic guitars, fiddles, mandolin, and dobro come across with such vitality, charm, and enthusiasm that Twilight takes on an energy that's truly distinctive and captivating."

Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle, December 2001 - Four star review
