Search - Carrie Rodriguez :: Give Me All You Got

Give Me All You Got is the fifth full-length
solo album from singer-songwriter and multiinstrumentalist
Carrie Rodriguez. Produced by Lee Townsend (Bill Frisell,
Loudon Wainwright III, Kelly Joe Phelps) at Berkeley s Fantasy Studios
and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound NYC, the record marries
Rodriguez s Texas background with a decade spent in Brooklyn, NY. These
new original tunes run the gamut of intense emotions, from heartache to
budding new love, from betrayal to resigned acceptance, and finally to the
sheer joy of simply being alive, she says.

Born in Austin, TX and raised on a broad range of pop, traditional and
classical music, Rodriguez began training on the violin at age five while
simultaneously developing a taste for fiddling under the influence of her
father, singer/songwriter David Rodriguez. She was awarded a scholarship
to Oberlin Conservatory of Music and moved on to graduate from the prestigious
Berklee College of Music. Frequent collaborator Chip Taylor (of
Wild Thing and Angels of the Morning fame) discovered Rodriguez at
the 2001 SXSW music conference and invited her to play fiddle with him,
asking her soon after to join him as both a singer and collaborator. She has
recorded with John Mayer, Patty Griffin and Los Lonely Boys, and performed
live with Lyle Lovett, John Prine, Bill Frisell, Alejandro Escovedo,
Los Lobos and Ricki Lee Jones, Jeff Bridges, and others.
