Critical Acclaim for "Heart on a Wire"

“[The album] has material as pleasing as work by the likes of Joni Mitchell mixed with doses of Emmylou Harris & Beth Nielsen-Chapman. It’s a tightly constructed LP with every day occurrences (“All Burned Out” & “Call My Heart Home”) that incorporate feelings, reminisces & would resonate with listeners. ” - John Apice

Praise for "Grenadine & Kerosene"

“Grenadine & Kerosene" is an introspective musical journey that is equal parts tender as it is powerful. ...From the upbeat acoustic guitar plucking of the title track "Grenadine & Kerosene" to the more folk-rock electric guitar beat of "Matter of Time," to the southern choral organ tune of "Broken Wing", "Grenadine & Kerosene" has a song to suit any taste and a melody to satisfy any hankering.” - Jennifer Perez

— Denver Patch

“Carolyn Shulman’s “Grenadine & Kerosene” is the comfort song to help get you through your breakup. This heartfelt folk record is packed with relatable and beautiful lyrics, a lovely acoustic sonic palette, and sweet vocals. This song feels classic; like it belongs on the same playlist as Bonnie Raitt or Carol King. ” - Ashley Hart
