Album Notes

Canadian singer songwriter Angie McCauley is a musical storyteller. She weaves colourful lyrical portraits that are honest, direct, down-to-earth, and delivered in her smooth blend of roots, alternative country, and folk. Her songs are rich with personal experience, observation and a sense of strength and resilience.

Angie’s new release, Comfort Zone, takes you on an emotional journey through the twists and turns of life. Beginning with the wistful opening song Goodbye and ending with the poignant spiritual The Morning After, her songs range from the spunky, irrepressible attitude of I’m Not Gonna Be Blue, and the hopeful musings of Someday, to the haunting imagery of Only In My Dreams, and the heartbreaking tragedy of Ballad of the Northview. Accompanied by guitars, drums, fiddles, banjo, mandolin, and keyboards, the music is laced with sweet harmonies and shades of blues, rockabilly and bluegrass. You’ll find yourself dancing around the kitchen and alternately shedding a tear.

"Angie McCauley's new album 'Comfort Zone' notably comprises songs that come from the heart with both musical and lyrical integrity . . . lyrics that deftly reach into you so that even on the first go-round you will find yourself singing along; feeling a little bit more vulnerable in a good way."
John Marian, Soundstream Magazine

“ Comfort Zone has that old time traditional folk/country feel, telling of a hard working life, with its ups and downs, trials and tribulations . . . It’s an album that does not bottle up it’s troubles or heartaches but releases them in song.”
John Roman

". . . intellectual attempts to pigeonhole the musical eclecticism of Angie McCauley could make a listener lose perspective on the fact that she really is a darn good singer."
