Caroline Says: “Sweet Home Alabama”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

There’s one “Sweet Home Alabama” song, and this ain’t it! But a song title is just a song title. On its own terms, Austin’s Caroline Says delivers a sweet dream pop number with some hot licks and a country shuffle. Extra points for ethereal vocals that have got more feathers than ganders got geese. Just be glad they didn’t remake Kid Rock’s remake.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
