Roll down the windows, turn up the stereo, and hit the Open Road with Deanna Cartea.

Blurring the lines between folk, rock, and pop, Ms. Cartea delivers an alt-rock-country sound that you can’t help but enjoy. Think Joni Mitchell meets Feist in the beautiful country known as the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. If you hear influences from Mazzy Star or Damien Rice, you would not be mistaken.

I think it’s time to take a trip to the Northwest. Deanna’s voice compliments a rockin’, yet still beautiful, acoustic guitar rhythm that takes my mind on a ride into the sunset. Her vocals are delicate but powerful and her mood captures everything from vulnerability to a full throttle passion for life.

These 11 songs are a solid, cohesive collection that refuses to disappoint from the moment you press play until the moment you realize the album has ended. You’ll probably push play again and keep on driving. Go ahead and grab your copy.
