Description

Carol Ames is a Texas-bred Americana artist. Her music is a mixture of styles and influences that create a sound uniquely her own. Her new CD, Shades of Indigo, which Carol also produced, was released in August 2004 and is already garnering critical acclaim. With her sights set high, the San Diego resident reached into her hat and pulled out the kind of record no one expected.
Shades of Indigo is a sexy, energetic Americana record with hints of country in which
Carol augments her fine songwriting with vocal performances to match.
The music community has taken notice as shown by her prestigious
win of the Grand Prize of the International 2004 John Lennon Songwriting Contest for the song "West Virginia. JLSC was impressed with the originality of the song, Carol's soaring vocals as well as the fine tuned production.
The many powerful emotional and stylistic impressions on the record might make for a diverse listen for Carol's fans and the many converts bound to
pile on her wagon but to Carol, this variety of emotional expression
all comes from the same place. From the country tinted lead track Nothin' but a Heartache to the slow burning of Underneath the Texas Sky to the delicate
title track Shades of Indigo Carol asserts herself with strong distinctive voice creatively, musically and lyrically.

"Ames is a triple threat artist... writing, producing and performing," says The Indie Artist Showcase in Atlanta.
"There's an overwhelming sense of professional imminence here. Everything about this Candy Coated records release...down to the dainty toenail-painted feet underneath the CD tray aspire to attainable platinum success." says Simeon Flick, San Diego Troubadour.
I don't know if Carol's voice could be any better... a great delight for the ears. This song SHOULD be all over the airwaves," says Nick Kane Director of A&R for Skywater Records regarding "Nothin' But a Heartache".
"Beautiful vocals and a very good song musically...well performed and presented very well." says producer Raymond Forchion regarding West Virginia.
Carol has always been a prolific songwriter and wrote the track "After August" featured
in the score and soundtrack of the nationally released movie The Month of August.
Her second CD Shakedown, released in 2002, was nominated for Best Adult Alternative Album in the 2002 San Diego Music Awards. The song "Sorry" also from this CD was a finalist in the National Independent Music Awards.
"Ames has a great voice, a cool delivery and a polished Americana band" says Ron Jacobs, San Diego Slamm Magazine regarding Ames second CD Shakedown.
Carol is a playful performer with alot of personal electricity, backed by a tight polished band ... capable of playing any size venue.
She has won the loyalty of her fans and is winning the attention of many in the industry with her evocative songwriting, vocal and performance style.
