I guess they weren't really supposed to keep them ethically, but there wasn't a practical way of returning them to the labels either, so they just tossed them. I would go out each week and gather up handfuls of these CD's, and every once and a while I would take a listen to one of them and find a gem. This was one one of those gems! Glad to see that I may done a very small part to help out the career of musician. Maybe I can do a little good in the world when I ain't being a curmudgeon. Yay, WXPN! I assume you're referring to U Penn's station. Always a favorite of mine, having grown up and lived in and around Philly. Great track. Thanks. |

| Dave_Mack (Two bus, zoo bus!) | Posted: Oct 15, 2008 - 11:13 I like it. A bit Floydy at the beginning, but she really takes it in a different, unexpected direction. Nice bass work too. |

| Pyro | Posted: Sep 13, 2008 - 20:08 A little reminiscent of Patty Griffin or Lucinda Williams. Anyone else hear it? |
| trekhead (Bumping BACK!!!) | Posted: Aug 13, 2008 - 05:30 Tori Whatsername called, she wants her lilting, wavering ,high pitched wailing back! Oh. Not her....sorry, my bad. I shouldn't hold that against Carol, in fact, I shouldn't hold anything against her, she sues easy. 7 overall (bib). |
| DoctorHooey (/etc) | Posted: Mar 24, 2008 - 06:33 Whoa, the segue from "Tomorrow Never Knows" was flawless - it's the exact same chord on the bells that runs throughout the previous tune. Bloody brilliant. Oh, and a cool tune in its own right. |

which is a little annoying cos I don't really like Moody Blues but I like this.. |
| supdawgs | Posted: Oct 03, 2007 - 13:32 I had a big 'LOL' when this started. And it continued until the song finished. |

Not too bad though. Same here! I like Madonna; Carol's voice is a bit creamier, though, I think. Very nice. 7 |

Like Carol's. Why is it that the scot lassies' voices tend to sound so fluid and almost instrumental like this one? I'm thinking Sinead Lohan, the other Sinead, and now Carol.  Eddi Reader,Maggie Bell,Maggie Reilly,Mary Kiani and even Lulu(Yes,she really can sing)are all worth checking out. I couldn't believe it when I powered up the PC and Carol was on RP.It's such a small world now. |

Ooh, I doubt it - going by her diary ((click here)) it looks like she lives down in the Central Belt, so Nethy Bridge would be a good few hours drive from the metropolis. |

The voice in Animal Logic belongs to Deborah Holland....just pulled the CD off the shelf. I need to dust it off and listen to it shortly. |

| certainly99 (Cape ELizabeth, ME) | Posted: Nov 14, 2006 - 13:14 Carol Laula Naked is an album for all to own. I recommend it highly. I picked it up when I lived in England and it is her best work (humble writers opinion). More Carol please. |
