Album Notes

Word from the newsstand about "Me and Marie

- "The title track of the CD is a wonderful tribute to a real love. The song just seems so dang honest, describes a relationship so fine, that I just close my eyes and wish I was the "me" in "Me and Marie"

- "Before I write a review, I listen to an album at least half-a-dozen times or more. If I can't take rehearing a release more than two or three times without losing interest, I won't review it. Maybe I should, just to warn people, but I'd rather spend my time recommending something I like. I like Ed Carey. He has an observant eye for the little things that express love in real commitment and for the lessons of life."

"Not all the good CD's are on the Top 40 country charts. Here's one."

- "The title track with its full compliment of fiddle, dobro, accordion is a country pop classic, and "Ain't That Your Baby" shows that Carey can do country-blues as well as the next guy."

- "Me and Marie showcases the significant skills of Carey in a fine manner; occupying a mid ground between Springsteen and some of the more notable Texan songsmiths like Steve Earle and adding a healthy portion of country twang to make things slide down nice and smooth. Everything sounds unrushed and measured. Merle Haggard is obviously an influence, and I could not help but sense the ghost of Townes Van Zandt wandering around in the background from time to time."

"This is an extremely fine album from someone who definitely deserves to be heard more..."

"I suggest you have yourself a little listen, then go order the album and treat yourself to some good old fashioned, honest country music."

- "Over several years at the Towne Crier Café I have watched Ed Carey blossom as a first rate songwriter and as a performer who puts every ounce of emotion and energy into his delivery, much like Springsteen. In fact, the Boss had better watch his back."
