Like Loretta Lynn…with the faintest of British Columbia accents.

We Say...
If you've ever wondered how Jean Shepard or Loretta Lynn might have sounded with the faintest of British Columbia accents, this 2007 album by Austrian-English-Canadian Carolyn Mark — former Vinaigrettes singer and a one-time collaborator with Neko Case — should satisfy your curiosity. Songs such as "The One That Got Away (With It)" and "The Business End" are old-school soul-baring, wound-opening, laundry-airing, vengeance-taking ballads of domestic disarray, the stark acoustic arrangements throwing Mark's luxuriantly lachrymose voice into even starker relief. Mark is no humourless throwback, however — a couple of the more upbeat tunes, especially "Happy 2B Flying Away" evoke something of the breezy lightness of touch of Laura Cantrell, and in "Pirate and Shotgun" and "Honest Woman," Mark demonstrates a kinship with the bleak, baleful humour of the gloomier depths of the Iris DeMent oeuvre.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
