Give Me All You Got is the fifth full-length<br>solo album from singer-songwriter and multiinstrumentalist<br>Carrie Rodriguez. Produced by Lee Townsend (Bill Frisell,<br>Loudon Wainwright III, Kelly Joe Phelps) at Berkeley s Fantasy Studios<br>and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound NYC, the record marries<br>Rodriguez s Texas background with a decade spent in Brooklyn, NY. These<br>new original tunes run the gamut of intense emotions, from heartache to<br>budding new love, from betrayal to resigned acceptance, and finally to the<br>sheer joy of simply being alive, she says.<br><br>Born in Austin, TX and raised on a broad range of pop, traditional and<br>classical music, Rodriguez began training on the violin at age five while<br>simultaneously developing a taste for fiddling under the influence of her<br>father, singer/songwriter David Rodriguez. She was awarded a scholarship<br>to Oberlin Conservatory of Music and moved on to graduate from the prestigious<br>Berklee College of Music. Frequent collaborator Chip Taylor (of<br> Wild Thing and Angels of the Morning fame) discovered Rodriguez at<br>the 2001 SXSW music conference and invited her to play fiddle with him,<br>asking her soon after to join him as both a singer and collaborator. She has<br>recorded with John Mayer, Patty Griffin and Los Lonely Boys, and performed<br>live with Lyle Lovett, John Prine, Bill Frisell, Alejandro Escovedo,<br>Los Lobos and Ricki Lee Jones, Jeff Bridges, and others.
