Caroline Smith . . .

. . . is awesome.

 I really don't have to add anything else to this post because those two words sum it all up, but I will anyway.  I don't remember the first time I heard her, but I know from the very first listen I was hooked.

I feel like on a dark dreary winter day, her voice would bring anyone out of their funk.  And in the middle of summer, her voice makes me think of strolling barefoot along a beach soaking in the tranquility of the moment.

I loved Caroline (and the Goodnight Sleeps') Backyard Tent Set, which I found to be fresh well put together.  Caroline and Jesse Shuster opened for Cloud Cult the other night, and I found myself longing for them to play more and just, ya know, delay Cloud Cult for a bit.  During this show she played a new song called Eagle's Nest which immediately made me fall in love with her all over again.  I could only find one youtube video of it, and cannot wait until August for the new release! She also played Calliope which is also fantastic.
