CAROLINE DOCTOROWOn her new CD ANOTHER COUNTRY singer songwriter Caroline Doctorow showcases her "velveteen voice" while singing the extrodinary songs of 1960's folk icons Mimi and Richard Farina. Expertly produced by the highly sought after multi-instrumentalist PETE KENNEDY, this recording boasts several stellar guest artists including NANCI GRIFFITH, JOHN SEBASTIAN, MAURA KENNEDY, HAPPY TRAUM and ERIC WEISSBERG. Electric sitar, dulcimer, banjo, mandolin, and swampy sounding guitars provide a lush and driving backdrop for Doctorow's wondrous voice as it wraps around Farina's dark lyrics. Lyrics which are somehow still on the cutting edge of today in their unflinching, even ruthless examination of relationships between lovers, nations and cultures. Another Country is the first full audio retrospective of Richard Farina's long neglected catalog.

Through seven albums that seamlessly mix originals and covers, Doctorow has become a favorite of folk and college DJ's across the country. Her voice has been called “wondrous, velveteen, and one of those pure clear voices that is captivating no matter what she sings”. Caroline cites her main influence to be the folk singers and songwriters of the 1960's.

Praises by others for her performances:

  • "... a stirring vocal that recalls Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, and Judy Collins, she takes the Farinas' timeless tunes and delivers them with a grace and eloquence that's pure and profound"
        — Lee Zimmerman - Subterranean Finds, New Times

  • "Hidden jewel. The voice and the music of Caroline Doctorow are as a shower"
        — George Backer - Radio Beverwijk, The Netherlands

  • "... stunning vocal performances and incredible chops"
        — Barnes Newberry - WUMB, Boston
