Album Notes

MUSIC IN THE BLOOD
Carol Plunk was practically born with a guitar in her hands. Delivered into a family of musicians, she began her musical quest at an early age by joining in on bluegrass jam sessions with her father and his friends. It wasn't long before Carol was in a league of her own, outplaying the other musicians.

GARAGE BAND DAYS
At the age of fifteen, a few years after discovering rock n roll, Carol started her first band, "Revelation". Carol and three neighborhood friends began to practice in her parents living room. It wasn't long before they were forced to move into the garage where they rehearsed three or more nights a week. After many banging sessions, "Revelation" began to perform in local night clubs and participated in several winning competitions. During their seven years together, "Revelation" was one of the most popular bands in Jackson, Tennessee.

BELLE CURVE FEVER
After many years of playing in a band, Carol traded in her electric guitar for an acoustic and formed a female duo known as "The Belle Curves". Before long, "Belle Curve Fever" began in Memphis, Tennessee and the duo performed for standing room only audiences night after night. "If you want to see one of the hottest local acts around, check out The Belle Curves at the Poplar Lounge." Tim Sampson, The Memphis Flyer, August 24-30 1995. After releasing a self titled cd in 1995, "The Belle Curves" hit the road and performed in over 500 night clubs across the United States. In the fall of 1996, "The Belle Curves" decided to go their separate ways, leaving Carol with the opportunity to develop a solo career as a singer, songwriter and musician.

A STAR IS BORN
As "The Belle Curves" disbanded, Carol began working on a solo cd in which she released in late 1996, simply titled, "Carol Plunk". She toured vigorously for two years around the United States, performing in clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, and events such as the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA. In January 1999, Carol released her second solo cd titled, "Plunk This!". This vast collection displays strong lyrics, powerful vocals and catchy melodies. "Carol Plunk is a talented musician with a strong voice, but what truly sets Carol apart is her
incredible song writing ability." Jeff Hepfer, burn yer radio, May 31, 1999. Just a girl and her guitar, Carol's unique rhythmic style and full sound captivates crowds of all genres. "Plunk sounded almost a full as a regular band by maintaining her own mid tempo groove and not merely relying on the open chord jangle of airy finger picking most often found in solo acoustic acts." Barrett Hathcock, Dateline Memphis, October 28, 1999. After continuous nightly performances, Carol lunged into the new millennium with a bang. On March 30, 2000, she was presented by the Memphis Chapter of The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Premier Player Newcomer of the Year award. She has shared the stage with musical artists such as, Michael McDonald (The Doobie Brothers), Kevin Kinney (Drivin n Cryin), Cyndi Lauper and many more. In January 2001, Carol released her third solo cd titled, "A Piece of Me". With this solo effort, Carol strives to reach her dream to become a rock n roll star. To many, she already is. "This passionate performer is a star", Nancy Apple, Digital City, Memphis, October 17, 1999.
