“It’s not like I’m going to do bar-band stuff like Creedence Clearwater Revival covers,” Ms. Rodriguez, 31, said recently. “But I do have a Lucinda Williams cover, a Townes Van Zandt cover, a cover of a song from an old band called Little Village that had John Hiatt and Ry Cooder in it.”

Ms. Rodriguez, who cites Ms. Williams, Mr. Van Zandt and Lyle Lovett as influences, selects her material based on how fully she feels it..”

Also in the article, under the photo of Carrie, a blurb citing Lucinda as one of her influences.
