Carsie Blanton \;writes anthems for a world worth saving. Inspired by artists including \;Nina Simone \;and \;Randy Newman\, her songs encompass a wide range of genres\, from sultry pop to punk-tinged Americana. Whether alone with her electric guitar or fronting her \; \;&ldquo\;handsome band\,&rdquo\; \;Carsie delivers every song with an equal dose of moxie and mischief\, bringing her audience together in joyful celebration of everything worth fighting for.
\n\nOf \;2019'\;s "\;Buck Up"\;:
\n\n&ldquo\;Buck Up&rdquo\; is a &ldquo\;rallying cry\,&rdquo\; \;says Blanton. \;&ldquo\;Enough with the sadness and wallowing about America. We have to get people together to make change\, even though it&rsquo\;s daunting.&rdquo\; \;Paraphrasing Tom Waits\, she quips\, \;&ldquo\;I hope this album will help to improve the quality of our suffering.&rdquo\;
\n\n"\;I was completely won over by the album full of tough-minded songs written and performed by Carsie Blanton on Buck Up\, which I have no doubt is the most underrated album of this year."\; \;&ndash\; Ken Tucker\, Fresh Air\, \;Top 10 Albums of 2019 (Dec 2019)
