Caroline Herring - Wellspring

Caroline Herring's 2nd release, Wellspring, was released in 2003 and it reflects the growth and changes in her life since the release of her debut Twilight. Herring's marriage is the most obvious influence as there are more relationship oriented songs on Wellspring.

However, her gift for literate story songs is still there particularly on Mistress, the story of an East Texas slave and her relationship with the plantation owner. Musically, producer Rich Brotherton (Robert Earl Keen) expands the scope of Twilight's sound without losing sight of who Caroline Herring is.

Keyboards are added sparingly and Kelly Willis makes an appearance on Jewels. Wellspring is ample proof that Caroline has dodged the 'sophomore slump' and released an album that is even stronger than her debut.
