Audio Cd
BY CARRIE NEWCOMER No one quality attracts a listener to Carrie Newcomer. Rather it is the sum of her talents - some flashingly apparent, some almost indiscreet - they come together and create a work of immense depth, great warmth, and a slow-burn intensity. Armed with keen eyes for detail and keen ears for harmony, Newcomer's performances are always evocative, thought provoking, and moving. The Age of Possibility is the culmination of years of writing, touring, and - most importantly - living. Liner Notes by Barbara Kingsolver.

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER Quaker singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomers latest album. Title track Before and After is about "experiences by which we mark our lives. Some of these experiences are large events - the birth of a child, the loss of a parent, a wedding or divorce. Some of these experiences are small moments that we did not realize at the time would effect us so profoundly. There is always another before and after and because of that, our lives grow deeper." Stones in the River "was inspired by a conversation I had with Parker Palmer about how small our actions are in the large and rushing river of time."

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER The Gathering of Spirits is one of the definitive albums of Carrie's career, featuring 11 exquisitely arranged songs, including the title track with Alison Krauss on harmony vocals.

Rounder Records 2002 11 TRACKS Disk
BY CARRIE NEWCOMER This CD was in part influenced by Newcomer's friendships and recent collaborations with influential authors and theologians, including Parker Palmer, Phillip Gulley, Jim Wallis, Scott Russell Sanders and Barbara Kingsolver. Many of the album's tracks examine compelling ideas and questions arising out of her relationships within this Quakerly community - the idea that things are not always as they appear; that good exists at the center of things; that life is a process of transformation; that there is value in simple things; that wholeness is not beyond our reach. Through her songs, she asks: What is the nature of justice? Where do we turn for strength?

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER "Carrie Newcomer has such an incredible knack for finding the extraordinary in the 98 percent or more of life that is utterly ordinary. And when life's amazing two percent kicks in, Carrie captures that too. Her music is always tuneful, and Carrie's voice is a most amazing instrument, full of warmth and comfort and yet so steady and strong. Carrie Newcomer leaves tracks across the hearts of listeners -- those she's touched already, and those she's bound to touch with this disc. You are bearing witness, as she sings here, to a journey that's been well traveled." --Marc D. Allan, from his liner notes.

The result is a touching, bittersweet glimpse at life, love, and humanity itself delivered with an unerring melodic sense and rich, expressive alto voice.
