What others are saying:
"Chris Carroll's new recording, Trouble & Time, has so many expressions.... just like a human face. Tracks like "Mister" smirk at you while "Dreaming You Up" has a Mona Lisa smile quality to it. Each song emotes such intimate eye contact, just like her live performance, and I don't think Chris will be the first to blink. " - Susan Gibson, Songwriter
