Carolyn Mark — The Pros And Cons Of Collaboration

Carolyn Mark’s bright party girl personality is part of what made her first two solo albums so fun, but every great party is followed by a killer hangover, which Mark suffers through beautifully on The Pros And Cons. More serious in its traditional country-style arrangements and autobiographical lyrics, the album picks up on Mark’s well-tread themes of good times and boozing, but with much darker and more personal undertones. The nakedness of the songs show a softer, quieter side of Mark, but she sings through it all with the same warmth and humour that has always made her music so likable.
