Press Reviews Listen.com ~ San Diego singer/songwriter works the same vaguely Roots-oriented Adult Contemporary turf of Sheryl Crow or Bonnie Raitt. Ames sings in a breathy soprano, backed by a tight, polished band. - Tom H. Planet CD ~ And so it is with pleasure that we find San Diego songwriter Carol Ames pushing the boundaries of professionalism in the presentation of her first CD of original music, Out Of The Blue ~ A Texas native, she melds strong song writing and a smooth, sensual voice into a well thought out potent package that combines her acoustic roots with mainstream pop. ~ Her musical vision is an approach that owes much to the golden formula that worked so successfully for Fleetwood Mac 20-some years ago: a rock solid rhythm section, plenty of guitar-driven textures, and layers of lush harmonies ~ Thematically, Ames' writing probes the realities of everyday life, the mind trips and games that bookend love, passion and desire. ~ Chuck Perrin.
