"Caroline Aiken, often sighted as
one of the cornerstones of the Decatur folk
movement, has long been at the forefront of modern folk and acoustic
expression. To her credit, she’s never compromised her vision, weakened her
stance or sold out her muse for monetary or social gain. Her newest release
continues in her familiar, no-nonsense tradition, and the recording finds
the singer-songwriter in fine form, augmented with sparse and tasteful
accompaniment.
Recorded live, the disc is almost completely stripped of those
often-annoying crowd noises, and therefore plays like a warm studio
collection, paired with the intimate immediacy of a club gig. Her soothing,
fine wood-grain voice purrs with a youthful innocence one minute, then
growls like a wise old blue singer the next, marking each song with her
trademark, time-honed stamp of quality."

“ARE WE THERE YET, MAMA?” Review by Lee Valentine Smith
--------------------------------
"Perfect mix of superb songwriting, stellar musicianship..."
Norm Prusslin, President July '05 Intercollegiate Broadcasting System/National College Radio Station Organization ------------------------------- "Aiken's guitar work is astonishing, especially as much of it, including slide, is on 12 strings..<snipped>..making this disc required listening for anyone who thinks s/he plays the blues or owns a 12 string." "This is a great record, far more enjoyable and compelling than the big-label fodder" VICTORY REVIEW -Seattle, WA Dec '05 Review by Tom PetersenClick here for song titles and lyrics!!
