Missing Records is clearly the place to go in Glasgow if you are looking for Caitlin Cary records. Last time I visited I came away with her 2000 EP Waltzie. This time round it was While You Weren't Looking her 2002 debut album also on the Yep Roc label
Her Bandcamp page says
Caitlin Cary’s debut solo album While You Weren’t Looking showcases her depth as a songwriter and her talent as a vocalist that goes beyond the material that many have come to know her for. Produced by Chris Stamey and co-written by Cary and Mike Daly, the record showcases Cary’s powerful, soothing vocals and features her performance on violin, creating a wistful and intimate acoustic feel.
There is nothing much to add really.It is a pleasant slice of Americana
In addition to ex Whiskeytown member Mike Daly the band consists of Skillet Gilmore another ex Whiskeytowner and Caitlin's husband on drums, Mike Santoro on bass and ex Jayhawk Jen Gundrman on assorted keyboards. Ryan Adams doesn't make an appearance but is a co-writer on a couple of the songs
Is it really more than 20 years ago since that came out? I feel old
ReplyDeleteI hate to break it to you Ernie but....
ReplyDeleteCaitlin Cary is new to me - really liked those two tracks esp Shallow Heart, Shallow Water. As you numbered them 1 and 2 are they the first two tracks and the best two on the album? Just asking to see if I should add it to my forever burgeoning wants list
