Release Notes:
--------------
Carrie Newcomer first gained attention singing and writing in the folk
band Stone Soup. She uses styles other than folk, such as jazz, blues
and rock. Her solo career consists of albums like Visions and Dreams
(1991), An Angel at My Shoulder (1994), The Bird or the Wing (1995) and
2000's The Age Of Possibility. Hoping to be an inspiration for young
songwriters, she became an artist in residence at several colleges. She
learned a lot from working with students, and when she stepped back
into the studio for 2002's The Gathering of Spirits, she displayed a
maturity not seen in her work up to that point.
The Bird or the Wing was Carrie's second release on Rounder Records.
Musically, the album straddles folk, rock and country styles, boosted
by the judicious use of fiddle, accordion, mandolin and pedal steel.
