Austin’s Carrie Rodriguez has been on the Americana scene for over a decade, getting her start as fiddling/singing accompaniment for country stalwart Chip Taylor.  Since then Rodriguez has gone solo and continues to up her game as a songwriter/performer. Check out below her performance of Lake Harriet (off her most recent album Give Me All You Got) with guitar-player Luke Jacobs on KDHX.  We love the soul and swing on this.

“Won’t you walk me around Lake Harriet
and hold my hand

Whisper those sweet nothings
like no other man can

And when the sun goes down on Minneapolis
I see the master plan

Won’t you walk me around Lake Harriet
and hold my hand

Movin’ too fast, think I never can stop
I’ve been runnin’ from the past
trying to beat it to the top

The miles add up, I hate to see another town
I try to look up but all I feel is down

Baby you’re the only one
that makes me come undone

REPEAT CHORUS

Gravity pulls too much
I buckle underneath the weight
memory of the country calls a higher state

Where the sea is calm, I know right from wrong
And there’s love in every minute
I’m loving every minute

Baby you’re the only one
that makes me come undone

REPEAT CHORUS”
