CAITLIN CARY
How would you describe a year in which your first solo album receives bouquets of critical accolades, your first solo world tour includes opening for your idol Lyle Lovett and, for the first time in too long of a time, you get to be "gleefully unemployed" from day jobs? For Caitlin Cary, 2002 was one such year. It was the year that this founding (and constant) member of Whiskeytown fully launched her journey into solo-hood with While You Weren't Looking, a disc that caused USAToday's Brian Mansfield to proclaim that "Ryan Adams isn't the only talented alumnus of alternative-country's deities Whiskeytown."
So what does Cary do for an encore? How about creating a stellar sophomore effort that builds upon the debut's many charms? I'm Staying Out stands out as a superb example of uniquely Southern pop. Rock, country, soul and folk smoothly blend together with Cary's gorgeous vocals serving as the unifying force. And what a force her voice is: majestic and melancholic, honey and hickory, Caitlin's singing is like a comforting shoulder to the brokenhearted, easing them through love's tough times.
Given her accomplishments, it's somewhat surprising that a musical career wasn't something Cary dreamt about growing up in the small northern Ohio town of Seville. She imagined that she might become a writer or perhaps a veterinarian. Music, however, played a major role in the Cary household. Her parents share a love of singing and her dad even built instruments. All of her six older brothers are musically inclined, with her brother Peter being one of her early musical inspirations. As a young child, Cary actually wrote songs that she "performed" on her dad's homemade harpsichord. When she was around six, she started studying the violin, which she played for a decade.
Cary recently dreamt that Mary Chapin Carpenter called her about a Lovett/Carpenter/Cary tour. While a younger Caitlin Cary might have seen this dream as just a fantasy, she now considers it as "a dream that I'd like to come true -- it could come true." Her present tour plans, however, revolve around hitting the road in support of I'm Staying Out, reconnecting with old fans, making new ones, and even reuniting with long lost friends. At a Baltimore tour stop last year, she had a great time meeting up with an old buddy from the Garden Weasels. When she's off the road, Cary greatly values her time at home in Raleigh with her husband (and former Whiskeytown drummer) Skillet Gilmore and their two dogs.
