Editorial Reviews

Call Me Home," the second album from award-winning singer-songwriter Edie Carey is appropriately titled as the record calls Carey back to her roots in pop, the music that inspired her as a child. "People often assume I was raised on Pete Seeger and Joni Mitchell, and while my parents were fairly well-versed in folk, I thought it far too embarassing to like what they liked," jokes Carey. "So instead, I escaped to my room, rolling up my 10-year-old eyes, and began creating dance videos to the likes of Debbie Gibson, Mister Mister, and Madonna. I had such an incredible sense of freedom and abandon at that age...I wanted to recapture that feeling, and lace it into the music I am making now. I tried to conjure up what it was that would inspire me to dress up in sequins and start performing splits for unsuspecting relatives...that's always a good motivation for a song, right?" "Fall or Fly," track 3 off of "Call Me Home" won Edie a spot as a semi-finalist in "Roxygen on Oxygen," a music competition sponsored by Oprah Winfrey's website for women, and was heard on MTV's "Road Rules." Another track, "Come Close," was featured on the WB's "Charmed." Produced by Tom Cangemi, "Call Me Home" features such acclaimed musicians as drummer Shawn Pelton (Shawn Colvin, Saturday Night Live), bassist T-Bone Wolk (Shawn Colvin, Carly Simon, M2M), and special appearances by ModMusic Records' Trina Hamlin and Red House Recording Artist, Cliff Eberhardt.

4.0 out of 5 stars You've discovered a gem., February 14, 2001

Buy this CD. Edie Carey's sweet voice and smooth songs will earn this album a permanent spot in your CD changer. More mature and more complicated than her first, "The Falling Places," but with the same honey-like charm and honest lyrics, "Call Me Home" is a must buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Edie is young, but don't let that fool you..., February 5, 2001

Edie Carey's second CD is an amazing follow up to her debut album. she continues to profoundly express herself through her music. She is one of the best up-and-coming folk musicians, i encourage any folk fan to check out her music.

If you have a chance, see Edie play live. She has an amazing stage presence (along with being VERY funny). it will really change the way you listen to her music.
