ARTIST: Carolyn Mark and NQ Arbuckle - [Album] with free mp3 download for 'All Time Low' from Let's Just Stay Here. DATE: 11-14-09 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams As Let's Just Stay Here spins, listeners find themselves being treated to the results of the perfect kind of marriage – the sort that starts with something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. It's a beautiful affair, but what makes it so? What's old: a faded, glorious [view more]
The Note Books series features musicians discussing their literary side. Previous contributors have included John Darnielle , John Vanderslice , and others. Carolyn Mark has long been one of my favorite singer-songwriters, and she released her latest album, Let's Just Stay Here (a collaboration with NQ Arbuckle), last month. Mark also recently published her second cookbook , The Terrible Hostess, Recipes for Disaster Vol. II , so I asked her to list her favorite cookbooks. [...]
Hopefully this collaboration will be more than just a one-shot deal, for Mark and NQ Arbuckle really bring home the goods. In 2007 the blues singer Bettye LaVette teamed up with the Drive By Truckers to release the stellar Scene of the Crime. Two years later ex-Trucker Jason Isbell teamed up with the 400 Unit to release a spectacular eponymous album. And now, at the end of 2009, alternative country songbird Carolyn Mark finds herself teaming up with NQ Arbuckle and singing a song that contains the line "It's hard being a good man listening to...

Carolyn Mark is my new hero. I'd never seen her live before she and NQ Arbuckle played a double, actually triple, bill at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto on Thursday, October 22. The Dakota is exactly the kind of place you want to see this show. Its like a dusty Texas saloon, only downtown in a major metropolis. The capacity is maybe 200, and it was only two-thirds full that night, the second night of their CD release party for Let's Just Stay Here . [...]
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. Carolyn
Carolyn Mark is unfortunately best known for her work with Neko Case. Actually, it seems like every artist who works with Neko Case -- be it Ms Mark, Jon Rauhouse, the New Pornographers, or the Sa... Continue reading "Rock of Pages: Terrible Hostess Volume II" >
"let's just stay here" kam mitte oktober auf mint records heraus: carolyn mark - all time low am 24.11. erscheint "big deal. what's he done lately?" und wir krachen uns schon einmal ein wenig warm (wird es plagiatsvorwürfe geben?): brimstone howl - suicide blues "sunset/sunrise" ist der aktuelle output der band aus seattle und erschien auf hardly art , wir hören [...]
This is my favorite picture of Falcon Heene, mainly because it's one of the few where he looks like he has an idea of what a freakin' creep his father is. Anyway, amid the sheriff's press conferences implying the family's too poor to fine, youtube spoofs and the Halloween costumes , Huffington Post columnist David Wild has come up with something NHT can sink its teeth into: a balloon boy playlist . If & when NHT has the track we'll slip it in there. Suggestions welcome! In a week we'll revisit and maybe get the whole thing in [...]
Roctober continues tonight and tomorrow night with Carolyn Mark and NQ Arbuckle performing their new album Let's Just Stay Here at the Dakota Tavern. I haven't heard very much of this album yet, but what I have heard I have liked very much. The album has a cover of Justin Rutledge's "Too Sober to Sleep" which I am dying to hear. I really like both of these artists individually, and together they sound fantastic. All Time Low.mp3 Buy (Maple Music): [...]
In Music, All ages music series ALL CAPS and Wavelength collaborate on a fundraiser for Toronto Islands arts studio Gibraltar Arts Gallery, with heavy hitters on the Saturday all day on the island showcase like Brain Borchedt (Holy Fuck), Great Bloomers , and We Take Lovers . Later that night, back on the mainland, are second night shows by both Cuff the Duke and Shout Out Out Out Out , as well as a set by the Phonemes at the Tranzac [...]
Canadian singer/songwriter Carolyn Mark has returned, and this time around has enlisted fellow Canadians N.Q. Arbuckle to help out with her latest album (her sixth), titled Let's Just Stay Here . And to say their addition only strengthens the album is an understatement. For those of you not familiar with Mark, earlier in her career she performed alongside another fellow Canadian, Neko Case , as half of The Corn Sisters . As their popularity rose, the pair decided to go their separate ways and embark on solo careers. Obviously Case's star has risen [...]
A collaboration that delivers the alt-country goods.

It's beginning to look a lot like Chritmas, especially among this week's music releases. Bob Dylan's Christmas In the Heart is in stores tomorrow, along with Aretha Franklin's This Christmas , the Jackson 5's Ultimate Christmas Collection , and Neil Diamond's A Cherry Cherry Christmas . I'm definitely picking up the Dylan disc and Putumayo Presents: A Family Christmas . At the top of my shopping list are two 7" singles, Andrew Bird's [...]
And so we've reached the last three months of the calendar year, known in the world of music as the Fourth Quarter. It's the last chance for bands and labels to make an impression, pocket a bit of cash, and maybe, just maybe, earn a sport on those illustrious year-end lists. As usually the case with these types of things, we got a lot of music to look forward to... with a heavy emphasis on "a lot." Fortunately, as it's usually the case with these types of things, we got you covered. Below, you'll find an extensive and [...]

I think I've always like the idea of Carolyn Mark more than I've actually liked her output. I know that back handed compliment would make McEnroe proud and infuriate her fans (and her maybe). It's impossible to not acknowledge or recognize her talent, but I never found her previous releases something I could sink my teeth into. Her beautiful, slightly husked voice and melancholic alt-country tunes always sound good to me on a casual listen, I just never really gravitated back for multiple listens. Let's Just Stay Here changes all that. [...]
