Biography

Carrie Newcomer is a rare breed of singer/songwriter: the kind who illuminates life with startling depth, humor and clarity. Her ability for sharp observation of the world lead the Dallas Morning News to rave, "She's the kind of artist whose music makes you stop, think and then say, 'that is so true'." Mining what is true, Newcomer's latest Rounder release, Before and After is a multi-layered work… Read more in Amazon's Carrie Newcomer Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of her best efforts, January 25, 2003
By 
Granite City Green Guy (St. Cloud, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bird or the Wing (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Carrie's since I first heard her perform in 1993. One of her first recordings on a national label (Rounder), The Bird or the Wing is classic Carrie Newcomer, packed with intelligent, passionate lyrics and a strong sense of melody. Though I own all of Carrie's recordings (many now) several tracks from this disc are on my personal "best of" compilation CDR, including "Holy Ground" and "Wisdom is watching." Though not outright _excellent_ as her later "My Father's Only Son," (a desert island disc for me), this is still a must have for fans of intelligent singer-songwriters. As a guitarist, I'm also pleased to hear Carrie experiment with new open tunings and production techniques that create a very pleasing mix from her typical small-bodied instruments.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the ten best cds in my 500+ collection!, January 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bird or the Wing (Audio CD)
Carrie is a true find. once you've heard one of her cds you'll want them all, but buy this one first. A stunning, unique alto voice, combined with her wise, haunting, sincere and always honest songwriting. Bird or the Wing is a treasure and a pleasure from start to finish. Best tracks: Closer to Home, Yes of Yes, Holy Ground.

5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistable, November 5, 1999
This review is from: The Bird or the Wing (Audio CD)
I have enjoyed Carrie's music for three years now. She has a way of adding precious touches to everyday events and things. Her music brings forth humor, love, wishes and family.

If you get a chance, go to her live concerts. She truly connects with the audience.
