Home again, home again and welcome welcome to all you new folks on the mailing list.  What an amazing month!  The Lonesome Lovers and I along with many of you here in Seattle kicked off the release of "Between the Bed Sheets & Turpentine" with an amazing night at the Columbia City Theater!  Then I got in my car and drove through Califonia, Arizona and New Mexico having the honor of meeting so many new people and catching up with folks I haven't seen in ages.  I had such an amazing time I've got tales and pics from the road and show announcements for you folks here in Washington, so first the cliff notes followed by all the fine details....

*Photos anyone?
I am terrible with photos and it seems I have managed to get through a CD release and a tour with hardly a photo to share!  If you have a picture from the release party here in Seattle or somewhere along my Red Boots Tour, will you email me a copy?  I may even post a few and include your name right here on the website!  Speaking of CD release parties... My dear friend Camille is releasing her new CD this month at the Columbia City Theater on November 12th.  I'll be there, I hope some of you will join me!

*A few pics from Carrie's Red Boots Tour SW...
I did manage to snap a few pics while on the road.  Here are a few pics and tidbits just for you.....

Rain followed me from Seattle all the way to Laguna Beach, California.  I'm so so sad to have missed the ocean down there.  Fortunately the rain cloud that hitched a ride with me from Seattle moved along before I left California.

The first sunny day of the tour and an amazing day at the beach and with a visit to the Queen Mary ship before my show in LA at Genghis Cohen.  Thank you thank you to my tour guides and hosts, Holly and Steve!

Driving from Scottsdale to Bosque Farms, New Mexico is a long, long, long way...  Thank goodness for new CDs from Head and the Heart, Bon Iver, Beirut, Camille Bloom, the Arcade Fire and the ability to tune into NPR in almost any town.  I might have gone a bit stir crazy if I didn't have such amazing music to listen to.  I do know all the mentioned CDs by heart now....

Landscapes start to change, elevation starts to climb...  I heart the SW.

Occupy Albuquerque was right around the corner from where I performed at R.B. Winnings Coffee Company.

Driving from Albuquerque to Flagstaff and a climb 7000 feet high....

James, Wilson and Aly, the fabulous owners of Uptown Billiards in Flagstaff.  If you are ever in Flagstaff, go say hello and enjoy some of the amazing beers and whiskeys they have selected.  Yummy!

Jerome, Arizona the city in the hills.  Truly an amazing place to visit!

Driving from Jerome to Prescott, Arizona.  A windy, windy road that is absolutely gorgeous.

Driving from Prescott to Tucson and leaving the high mountains for the desert.

Yummy desserts at a Dessert and Song house concert in Vallejo, California.  They were super delicious!

Getting some time with my dear friend Zara in I heart San Francisco.

Last day of tour was spent with my sis, my niece and my nephew at the park on the swings.  I miss them already.

Last looks of Mt. Shasta on my way heading home, sweet home...

That about wraps it up for this month. Thank you all for being on this list.  I feel like such a lucky girl to have such amazing support from around the world.  It's you fabulous people who help me continue to do what I do.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the tops of my doinks on me head (for those of you who don't know "doinks" they are the funny knots I tie my hair into at the top of my head).

smooches and warm November hugs!

It's wonderful people like you who help me continue to do what I do and you help by forwarding this information along and spread spreading the word........  

It's started, can you feel it?  That rumble of excitement and goodness that precedes the release of something new?  It's like millions of butterflies about to take flight all at once and you start to feel it in your stomach just before it all begins.  Those butterflies have been building in my belly for well over a year now and I feel as though I am just about to burst!  It all starts Friday, September 30, 2011 at the Columbia City Theater with the official release of Between the Bed Sheets & Turpentine!  Advance tickets are available now through Brown Paper Tickets.  And for those of you in Arizona, California and New Mexico I'll be headed your way in October for a flurry of shows celebrating this fourth release.  For those of you in Europe we'll be headed your way in April and May.

For all of you who check in here at the website, who are on our mailing list, or those of you who check in via facebook, myspace, reverbnation or twitter, we hope you'll join us here in Seattle or somewhere on the road because you really only get to celebrate the kick off of a new release once.  We hope you'll be there to start this amazing ride with us and where it takes us, stay tuned to find out....
