What can ya say? The incredibly talented Melissa Carper has done it again. So often when an artist drops such an excellent debut album(Daddy’s Country Gold) – there’s an incredible amount of pressure due to the expectations of what is to come. This clearly wasn’t the case for Carper who is being appropriately nicknamed Hillbilly Holiday. The jazz infused country she is currently putting before us is sitting in a sunflower field of its own. Basking in the sun & enjoying every moment of life. As is she, you can hear it come through her songs, her voice & her demeanor on stage. One of the musical worlds truest sensations.

“Melissa Carper and her cohorts have crafted an exquisite work of audio goodness that mesmerizes with its wayback sound and style, steering you to a simpler era in music when everything made more sense, and the very foundations of American music were set”

“Through her music, Carper comes across as a woman who delights in being alive and revels in every experience of her existence, even the ones that break her heart. She sings with equal passion about a beloved vehicle’s demise and the end of a relationship. Which doesn’t mean she trivializes the latter, but rather, everything is kept in perspective”

“Ramblin’ Soul is an assured statement that shows reverence to past precepts while also propelling her forward towards the future. It’s retro and relevant all at the same time, giving Carper solid standing as an essential artist”
