Award-winning Texas guitar slinger, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Carolyn Wonderland releases her Alligator debut, TEMPTING FATE. The album, her 11th, was produced by famed master roots musician Dave Alvin, and features Wonderland's signature, blistering six-string and lap steel playing, her intense vocals and her original songs melding blues, rock and Americana.
