Thad Cockrell and Caitlin Cary

Q: Have you guys heard of Thad Cockrell and Caitlin Cary? I heard them recently and was blown away. Here is their web site http://www.caitlinandthad.com/. Follow the Music links and you can listen to full length songs. They also have some solo stuff, very nice.

We vacationed in McCreary County, Ky last week, population 17,190. I found a great radio station out of Whitley City, KY. You can check it out on line at www.hay98.com. I heard these two on a program called "Are you ready for the country?"

Reply: I really like Caitlin Cary! She used to be in Ryan Adams' old band, Whiskeytown, and then went solo. I have one of her CD's that I like a lot, but her piece de resistance is a live version of a song called Rosemary Moore (I'm guessing it might be a cover). There's another (less depressing) song of hers that I really like -- I think it's called Hold Onto Me.

Reply: I may have heard these two on WUMB yesterday. I tuned in in the middle of the interview. The woman was identified as Caitlin and I didn't get the guy's name. They played the Newport Folk Festival, so maybe they'll get booked into Club Passim or Johnny D's and I can see them live.
