REVIEWS
“Kara’s music is like a warm breeze from Muscle Shoals in a contemporary framework that scratches a musical itch you didn’t realize you had. Kara’s newest release, “Sojourner” is a perfect title for music that is right here, right now and moves the listener to a new place. Don’t let this one slip by. It deserves your attention.”
“WELL, I just got my first speeding ticket ever blaring your record for the first time. Consider that my official review. ”
“It’s as if Bonnie Raitt, Sia and Janis Joplin had a baby. ”
