O’s Notes: Karrin sings blues and jazz, maybe better stated as expressions of the mind. She uses her voice as an instrument, bending notes while maintaining tonality and always injecting the appropriate emotion. It starts with “Moanin'” and continues through “Angel Eyes” hitting soulful classics, pop and jazz ballads each with a southern blues twist. Thanks and I’ll have another, make it a double. She’s on!
