Herring confidently returns to the forefront of the American roots music scene with a masterpiece of understated intensity. There is no artifice on 'Lantana'. It's an album full of delights, lyrically and musically.

Caroline Herring confidently returns to the forefront of the American roots music scene with her album 'Lantana'. The Mississippi-born, Atlanta-based singer / songwriter took the producing helm for the first time on the new record. 'Lantana' is a masterpiece of understated intensity and in many ways an artistic re-birth for Herring, who took the Austin music scene by storm in 2002, but then decided to take time away from her career as a musician to focus on motherhood.

In many ways Lantana is Herring's re-imaging of the Gothic South, with a rich alto voice that soothes the listener even as she addresses difficult subjects. Herring has a journalist's eye for detail, a poet's sense of scale and language, and a life-long Southerner's understanding of the issues that shape the culture below the Mason-Dixon line.

There is no artifice on 'Lantana'. It's an album full of delights, lyrically and musically. And just like Caroline Herring, this album is the real thing.
