Quick Hits: Carolyn Mark, Star & Micey

Here are some thoughts on music I could get to properly this week:

Carolyn Mark, Let's Just Stay Here
Recorded with N.Q. Arbuckle, this album is full of warm, roots rock.  If you like your Canadian imagery in your music this one's for you.  With lyrics like "it's hard to be a good man listening to the Drive-By Truckers" how can you go wrong?

Mark also has a new cookbook out this week.

Star & Micey, Star & Micey
The debut album from the Memphis country/roots act is at times gritty and at times slick.  The songs are well-crafted and they show quite the knack for melody.  Definitely worth checking out.
