Colorado singer-songwriter Edie Carey and her Wyoming-based musical partner, Sarah Sample have released their long-awaited second album Lantern in the Dark: Songs of Comfort and Lullabies today. Listen to the full album here.
The album combines originals like their first-ever co-write “In My Arms,” Sample’s “Shine,” and Carey’s “All the Ways You Comfort Me,” and “Heaven Now” — with standards (or should-be standards) like Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time,” Dylan’s “To Make You Feel My Love,” James Taylor’s “You Can Close Your Eyes,” and Wilco’s “My Darling.”
On the album the pair are backed by a large collection of musicians including producer and engineer Scott Wiley(bass,guitar, pump organ, banjo, drum programming), Mai Bloomfield (cello, background vocals), Paul Jacobsen(acoustic & electric guitar), Dustin Christensen (acoustic guitar), Aaron Anderson (percussion & drums) Ryan Shupe(fiddle) Sam Cardon (piano) and Maren Gayle (keyboard).
Across this 12-song collection, the seasoned singer-songwriters address the dual surreality of both giving life and losing it, and they navigate rarefied territory, yielding a collection of masterfully-written, emotive originals and novel, openhearted approaches to songs from the canon. These songs will just as easily soothe a child into sleep as they will provide solace for a grieving heart, at any age.
