Terri Hendrix comes from the Texas Hill Country and she is as fiercly independent, as she is musical with her "unique stylistic mix of folk, roots-pop, country and scat-jazz." The slogan of her company, Wilory Records, is "Own your Own Universe."
"It is impossible to categorize the music of Terri Hendrix," observed
Country Music People. "She is completely her own person." Texas
Monthly called her a "singer-songwriter-entrepreneur-czarina," while
England's Mojo, smitten with Hendrix's 1998 album Wilory
Farm, described her as a "scarifyingly breezy
Texan cowgirl" who seemed "way
too wholesome to have made an album as invigorating as this." Perhaps
RollingStone.com, reviewing her 2002 album, The
Ring, put it
best when it approvingly dubbed her a "Texan square peg."
Terri's
most recent album is The Art of Removing Wallpaper (2004) where
she again teams up with musician, friend and co-producer, Lloyd
Maines. There's a lively exchange of songs, repartee and instruments
between the two on stage. And Terri is not one to shy away from
speaking her mind on issues that are important to her. Dirty Linen
noted that Terri is "well on her way to becoming the beat laureate
of the folk world."
