REVIEWS
Kelly Caruso - Born Dainty

Bongo Boy Records sent me a copy of the new single by former American Idol contestant Kelly Caruso. Since I haven't lived in the US for about three years, I'd never heard of Kelly Caruso. That is probably a good thing, had I, I might have been tempted to prejudge her music based on the fact that when I did live in the US I was tuned off by American Idol.
This stems from one episode in which Simon was heaping praise all over a little girl, not because she possessed any great musical ability, but because she was commercial with a capital C. Now, I get that this is a business and people need to make money,
( I even had to start charging ten bones per review, to pay my hosting bill. ) BUT I'd like to think that the music comes first and the image somewhere further down the list.
Alas, that often isn't the case. However, I can say that I am writing this review based on what I've heard in the song. (OK, I did have some pretty high expectations for this track, because it was written by one of my favorite players, Gar Francis.)

The musicians on this country/rock single are:
Gar Francis - Banjo/Guitar/Keys
Kurt Reil ( The Grip Weeds) - Drums
Mike Caruso (The Doughboys) - Bass

First things first, I dig the music. It's got an old Charlie Daniels - Skynyrd feel. As an old drummer, I have to say I really like what Keith Reil is doing. I also dig the leads Gar pulls out at the tail end of the song; and some people say Country doesn't jam! When done right, it jams indeed. Kelly has a strong voice that gets better on the chorus. She can sing and seems to have the kind of gutsy attitude that I dig.
Think of a kind of Country Gore Gore Girls and you are on the right track.This is a good song. It's worth the buck at iTunes. While I enjoyed listening to Born Dainty, I'd like to hear more of what she does. So what is the bottom line?
All in all a good song from a young woman with a strong voice and some really good players.
Grouch rating 3.5 scowls out of 5 - I'd like to hear more. You can get a copy on Itunes, CD Baby and other online locations.
