Recognition

RECOGNITION is a fresh collection of 12 rootsy and melodic originals from the Canadian artist often called “a songwriter’s songwriter.” Sometimes witty, sometimes gut-wrenching – often both simultaneously – this is a record for both the head and the heart.

Mixed by Richie Biggs (Civil Wars, Joy Williams, The Lone Bellow), RECOGNITION features Carolyn on acoustic guitar and piano with long-time collaborator Spencer Capier on violin, a suite of mandolins, bouzouki, and electric guitar. Co-producer Roy Salmond contributes accordion, pump organ, and additional guitars, while acoustic bassist Miles Hill (Van Morrison, Eric Clapton) and drummer Randall Stoll (k.d. Lang, Tom Cochrane) keep things grooving.

Special guests include Amy Grant, the McCrary Sisters, and the Love Sponge String Quartet.
