The talent trapCan Carrie Furman be a star if all she has is the best voice you've ever heard?By SEAN DALY
Published October 1, 2006HOLLYWOOD, Fla.In a dark, ritzy jazz joint, Lady Marmalade is being strangled.The saucy LaBelle hit is proving too much for a pretty blond singer with more teeth than talent. So before she gets to the song's octave-spanning climax, she leaps off the stage and into the crowd, looking for a friend.She stops at a small candlelit table and thrusts her microphone at a young woman who is just finishing her chocolate dessert. With knife and fork still in hand, the ambushed diner swallows her food and her surprise, rolls her blue eyes and leans into the mike. A spotlight illuminates her full face as she unloads a thunderous, blues-dripped roar - "CREOLE LADY MARMALAAADE!" - featuring a note that is not just held but rocket-launched into the night.Jaws drop. Applause swells. The blond singer scampers back to the stage, grinning.And with a comical air of nonchalance, Carrie Furman resumes eating her dessert as all too familiar whispers echo around her: Who is that girl?Read the entire article at http://www.sptimes.com/2006/10/01/Floridian/The_talent_trap.

Influences: Wynona Judd, Bonnie Raitt, Kasey Chambers, Alison Moorer, Gretchen Wilson with a little etta james thrown in there...
I've recently been listening a lot to Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert and Gretchen Wilson.
Sounds Like: I'd love to be able to say "like nothing else"... But, there's only so many chords and so many notes and so many words that can be strung together to create music. I try to be as original as possible with my songwriting, but if you think you hear some of my influences in there, it's because they've "influenced" me... ;)
I love country and I love blues. I think my songs are a lot of country with a little blues thrown in there.
