The indie rock group Utah Carol, taking their name from a traditional cowboy song, are a duo consisting of husband and wife Grant Birkenbeuel and JinJa Davis. They began writing songs together in 1995 and launched the band in Chicago in 1997. The first Utah Carol album, Wonderwheel, was released by Orchard Records in June 1999. "My Fear," a song from it, was chosen for inclusion in The Rough Guide to Americana, while another track, "Mabel Custer," was featured in the film All the Real Girls. Comfort for the Traveler, Utah Carol's second album, produced by Van Dyke Parks, was released April 22, 2002, on the group's own Stomping Ground label. Rodeo Queen, their third album, appeared on May 15, 2007, anticipating the release of two more films using the band's music, Kabluey and Love and Mary. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide Read more on Last.fm.
