O’s Notes: The latest release from jazz violinist Regina Carter takes us on a journey into her past. The program is a mixed bag dominated by the down home country blues of “Hickory Wind”, “Honky Tonkin'” and “Blues de Basile”. We also appreciated the ballads like “I’m Going Home” and the funky “Tramping'”, both adding different flavors. Southern Comfort is a different take with Carter spotlighted on the fiddle! It’s contagious.
