Kendel Carson's Flirtatious, Boisterous 'Alright Dynamite' Out On June 23, 2009

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Kendel Carson shows she's quite a pistol on her new album 'Alright Dynamite,' out June 23 on Train Wreck Records. A magnetic 24-year-old with a honey-dipped voice and serious fiddling chops, Carson demonstrates spunk and sultriness on the album's 14 tracks. At times flirtatious and bawdy, at others wistful and reflective, on the new album Carson demonstrates an exceedingly confident spirit, building upon her 2007 debut 'Rearview Mirror Tears,' named one of the top five Roots albums of the year by Q magazine.

Produced by legendary songwriter Chip Taylor, who co-wrote 4 songs with Carson and penned 9 others for the album, 'Alright Dynamite' highlights include; the slinky boogie of 'Belt Buckle,' on which Carson declares 'pour some water on me, it's too hot for me here' as she receives sultry stares from a good looking admirer, the rollicking 'Seven Shadows On My Golden Roses,' the back porch feel of the breezy 'Ooh That Dress,' and a foot stomping, hoe-down take on the Janis Joplin classic 'Mercedes Benz.'

Born in Canada, Carson studied the fiddle and was performing by the age of three with the Victoria Symphony. She also became a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada. At the age of nine she performed with the BC Fiddle Orchestra, gaining the experience she would later need in the Carsons, the Paperboys and Outlaw Social. In 2004, Carson met Taylor while in a fiddle workshop. Initially Taylor invited Carson to New York City to write material and record demos, but the session went so well they became 'Rearview Mirror Tears.'
