in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) October 22, 2009 3:12 pm
Carolyn Mark is understandably — though somewhat unfortunately — often compared to her former bandmate, Neko Case. And even though the two alt.country chanteuses share many of the same qualities, the comparisons inevitably paint Mark as a second-rate singer/songwriter, forever standing in Case's shadow. Not that any of this seems to bother Mark...

Carolyn Mark — Nothing Is Free

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) September 18, 2007 11:10 am
B.C. socialite Carolyn Mark returns with an album that takes a few steps back and revisits the pure country goodness that she originally traded in.

Carolyn Mark — The Pros And Cons Of Collaboration

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) May 4, 2004 12:45 pm
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...

Juno Award Weekend Adventures Part II: The Arkells Are Good

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) April 21, 2010 4:33 pm
Saturday's Juno activities began with a 4 p.m. dinner of salad, chili, and sandwiches. The chili was good, but people standing around me later in the evening might not have had as great an appreciation for it.
