Search - Caroline Casey & the Stringslingers :: This Broken Crown

As Austin's 'Honky Tonk Queen' (according to legendary record producer Kim Fowley), Caroline Casey has been hard at work on the roots music scene for close to ten years. First as half of the female rockabilly duo, The Casey Sisters, and then as a solo artist in her own right, her spirited stage shows, sassy sense of humor, and lyrical talents have been garnering increasing attention on the local radio as well as the international music festival scene. This Broken Crown' dives deeply into country music of the late 1950s to the late 1960s, with a twelve tracks combining into an irresistible blend of mostly original high-steppers, barstool tear-stirrers, and classic Texas two-steppers. Caroline Casey's music and lyrics embody the careworn, steel-spined resignation of Loretta Lynn or the 'Devil Take Me' attitude of early Johnny Paycheck or Don Gibson.
