Tower of Songwriters
Carolyn Mark is an extremely talented, wickedly funny singer/songwriter out of Vancouver who is best known (if at all, really) as one half of The Corn Sisters along with Neko Case. I saw her play at a roots & blues festival in Calgary last year and she had that sort of onstage charisma where you couldn't take your eyes off her and as a songwriter she does a terrific job of blending old school country with a lot of smartass irony and barbed introspection. I only have one cd by her, Terrible Hostess, but I listen to it quite frequently and almost always use it for mix tape fodder to introduce other people to her stuff.
So many good songwriters, so little abiltity to download....

echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
