 Desert Rose review by Bob Everhart, President, National International Country Music Assn:
countrymusicnewsinternational.blogspot.de/2018/04/cd-review-carol-markstrom-desert-rose.html
For two weeks in November 2017 magic happened at Grammy-Winning Producer Bil VornDick's studio where the best of Nashville gathered to record Desert Rose.  What a thrill to sing with these talented musicians who quickly grasped Bil's and my vision for our originals and other new songs taking them further then I anticipated.  This album turned into something very special!
