Album Notes

After a dynamic start in 70s Hamburg, Caro turned her back on her career. Now she has returned. With an album made for eternity.

A Blues Singer with a fantastic voice and unconventional interpretation: José Caroline Tollenaar, Caro for short. Regarded as one of the greatest talents on the German pop scene. Discovered in the legendary “Onkel Pö” and branded the discovery of the year by the teeny magazine “Bravo”. A winner of the German Record Prize (now known as the ECHO) in 1978 for her first album. And in spite of that she was disillusioned, and spontaneously turned her back on the stage.

Her comeback was just as spontaneous and relaxed with the live band Carolisa. With her Australian friend Lisa Lagoda and a few of her companions from yesteryear the band were guests for Robert Cray and for the Scorpions.

After Lisa returned to her home in Australia, Caro continued to work on her comeback which climaxed with the album “Eternity” in 2005. And indeed, Eternity is something for eternity, timeless and undoubtedly of international class. This is pure Caro, accompanied by a filigree band. The musicians, legendary keyboarder Jean-Jacques Kravetz and his two sons Pascal and Julien, as well as Arndt Geise, Martin Scheffler, and Robbie Smith, show their best sides. Top class musicians, who interprete Caros songs tastefully and full of feeling.

The long and sorely missed singer has succeeded in releasing a stylistically wonderful mixture of Blues, Soul, R&B, and Jazz light. Passionate songs, an acoustic vacation from the blather of format radios. Once heard, its difficult to get your head out of the clouds.
