5.0 out of 5 starsMesmerizing!
By Kori Frazier on April 11, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Take your favorite country song. Now, throw in the majestic voices of Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch. Add a dash of folk and pop, throw in some hypnotic lyrics, and mix in that kind of catchy, beautifully arranged music that is impossible to get out of your head. The result is Caitlin Cary's debut album, WHILE YOU WEREN'T LOOKING.
Out of sheer curiousity, I downloaded a couple of songs from this album from various sources, wanting to get a glimpse of what Caitlin's style was before pursuing the full length album. I was hooked from the start--after hearing the songs only once, I immediately bought the CD. If you enjoy country artists like Emmylou, love Americana stars like Gillian, or find yourself playing records by Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky over and over again, this album is a must for your collection. Caitlin's voice is lilting and hypnotic, soaring over a beautifully arranged combination of folk, country, and pop music. An extremely versatile record, this CD has something for everyone--the opening track, "Shallow Heart, Shallow Water" grabs the listener immediately, gradually reels you in with upbeat numbers like "Please Don't Hurry Your Heart," and "Thick Walls Down," and by the time you reach "Pony" (which could have easily been a hit for Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, or one of the classic female artists of the late '60s and early '70s) and "Too Many Keys," you will be a Caitlin addict with no fear of breaking the habit. The album's closing track, "I Ain't Found Nobody Yet," is one of its highlights, a heavily influenced country track with emotional lyrics and music that is sure to provoke a strong reaction of any kind from the listener.
I'm going to sum this up in as few words as possible--BUY THIS ALBUM.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsSolid Solo Debut
By Brian D. Rubendall HALL OF FAME on March 2, 2003
Format: Audio CD
After the demise of alt-country wunderkinds Whiskeytown, all of the attention went to uberbrat frontman Ryan Adams. Overlooked was the fact that the band contained another fine youn gtalent who had been hidden by Adams's very considerablt shadow. Now violinist Caitlin Cary has fully stepped out on her own (albiet with an assist from Adams, who appears on several tracks). The first surprise, given that Cary was always relegated to a backup vocal role in the band, is that she is a very good singer. The second is that as a songwriter she's nearly on par with Adams in terms of quality if not in terms of incredibly prolific output.
Cary's sound is much closer to the country rock of Whiskeytown than Adams's solo material. She even takes a passable stab at bluegrass on "Hold On to Me." She's at her best, however, when she infuses a bit of rock energy into the mix, as on "Shallow Heart, Shallow Water," "Please Don't Hurry Your Heart," "What Will You Do?" and "Too Many Keys." On the downside, some of the ballads tend to be a bit bland and one experimental track, "The Fair," doesn't work at all. There's a bonus mini-CD in the package containing four extra songs, including a duet with Adams and the CD booklet contains a full lyrics sheet.
Overall, a decent solo debut from an artist just learning to perform on her own.

4.0 out of 5 starsPlease take a look
By J. Sweeney on July 12, 2002
Format: Audio CD
If you like country, folk, rock and pop music-you'll like this. If you like a sweet voice, smart lyrics, musical arrangements that are just right you'll like this. The songs deliver some serious messages about co-dependancy, not seeing reality, family troubles, resisting committment, and wallowing in self-pity delivered with such beautiful singing and musical arrangements that they seem upbeat, more like a little nudge instead of a kick in the head. It's obvious that a lot of work went into this cd to get it just right, but it never sounds over produced. Favorite songs include Thick Walls Down, Too Many Keys, Plese Don't Hurry Your Heart, and I Ain't Found Nobody Yet. Pretty good disc!

5.0 out of 5 starscary debuts with practiced confidence
By A Customer on April 4, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Two roads diverged in a wood ~~ and clearly Caitlin Cary chose a different road than Ryan Adams when Whiskeytown broke up. Fans of Whiskeytown will remember that Cary supplied a wonderful, harmonic background to Adams' lead, and frontlined in songs like "Matrimony." Here, she is practiced and confident, with a lovely sound, excellent intrumental back-up, and great songwriting. If you liked Whiskeytown, and enjoy female folk/country vocalists like Gillian Welch or Emilou Harris, this is for you!

3.0 out of 5 starsJust average
By A Customer on October 25, 2002
Format: Audio CD
I wanted to like this a whole lot more than I do. I love her work with Whiskeytown, but the songwriting here is average at best. I just picked it up again after a few weeks and still feel the same. This reminds me of a Syd Straw record: great voice, unremarkable songs.

5.0 out of 5 starsThoroughly Enjoyable Listening
By J. Stocks on December 6, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Caitlin Cary is blessed with an almost bell-like clarity to her voice and a directness of her words that is most touching. I, like most, believed that Ryan Adams was the dominant force in Whiskeytown. After listening to this disc, it is difficult not to think that Caitlin was on equal footing. Comparing this album to Ryan's output is unnecessary and ridiculous. Caitlin's beautiful album provides for a very enjoyable listening experience and one that begs to be heard again and again. Each time I listen, I hear something that makes me enjoy the disc more and more--a lyric here, a melodic line there. The songs on this album remind me of Natalie Merchant in places and Carly Simon in others,but filtered through the alt-country of the past 10 years. 'Shallow Heart' is a hit that will probably never be heard on the radio. Shame. This song has a beautiful melody and lyric that would surely turn many a casual listener into a fan.
The disc is very much worthy to be part of your collection if you enjoy thoughtful alt-country songs played honestly and with focus.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhile You Weren't Looking... Caitlin Cary put out a great record!

Caitin's debut solo release doesn't shed everything Whiskeytown stood for, but it does seem like a few reviewers on here have punished this record for not being another WT LP. Read more

Caitlin is the most underrated female singer today. Her name should always be included in the company of Lucinda, Emmylou or Rosanne.

It has all been downhill for Cary since Whiskytown. She started riding the fence between country and new-age pop, which certainly isn't a commercial triumph for her. Read more
