Caroline Jones is bringing country-pop back in a bold way.
The multi-instrumentalist has been impressing fans and critics alike with her energetic songwriting and passion for blending contemporary pop with her country roots. Jones’ exhilaration shines through her music, setting her infectious songs and live performances apart from the never-ending sea of newcomers.
On her latest EP, Bare Feet, Jones wrote every song and played every instrument except for bass & drums, including the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, dobro, banjo, harmonica, and piano. The record, co-produced by the legendary Ric Wake, is a joyful album filled with shiny tracks, killer hooks, and sweet melodies.
One of our favorites on the EP? “Country Girl”, a mesmerizing anthem for anyone who feels home on the range. The music video for the track dropped this week and showcases the Connecticut-native frolicking around her family's farm, playing with cows and strumming her guitar on the porch.
