Album Notes

Carol Lee Espy, singersongwriter from western Pennsylvania, presents her second cd "Stars in the Back Yard", something for the lyrical minded music lover to chew on (her first cd Merciful Landings is sold out).

Stars in the Back Yard reviewed by Performing Songwriter:
"Just when you think you can't possibly be moved by another love song, along comes someone like Carol Lee Espy with a tune like "Come Home".

The deep yet simple ache of missing someone is captured with such hushed intimacy you almost feel like you're eavesdropping.

Warm and wise, articulate and inspired, Carol Lee Espy is all that and then some."
-Performing Songwriter '99
Carol Lee is also a three time Emmy nominated songwriter!

Carol Lee is currently working on cd #3,although Nashville writing projects and collaborations with her husband Jim DiSpirito (Rusted Root) are happily jamming up the works.

This is going to take a lot more coffee than anticipated.

REVIEWS

A little lower key than the first, but worth listening to over and over again!

This Cd was a lot more mellow than the first one, but it was just as good. I have to say "Pony For The winter" was my favorite track. It brought good memories! I Hope you put out another CD soon.
