"I take whatever happens to me between records and spend time thinking and feeling it through, then I draw on the lessons I've learned and try to find the music in it.Edwin McCain Messenger Japanese Promo CD album (CDLP) "I live my life and I write about it," McCain said. Lost In America, his seventh album, and Vanguard Records debut, is another collection from a man whose career is marked by his talent for delving into the human condition and producing songs of uncommon insight and compassion. Now it's time to get out there and play it live."Įdwin McCain has a romantic soul and a way of investing life's everyday moments with a poetry all his own. We all put our individual spin on it, and working on songs as a band really improved the quality of the music. It's a collection that balances his acoustic and no frills, rock'n'roll sides. For Scream and Whisper McCain signed with DRT and enlisted his full touring band. I stand by the songwriting, but the music was out of hand."Īfter leaving the majors, McCain went back to his songwriter roots with The Austin Sessions, an indie project, with McCain on acoustic guitar and vocals backed only by Larry Chaney (acoustic guitar) and Craig Shields (sax.)

The benefits of a hit like that lets us keep playing the music we want to play."Ītlantic wanted McCain to stick to the winning formula. It's like having a winning lottery ticket. "You can't disagree with having a hit like that. Phil's audience had voted it their favorite wedding song. He was also invited to sing the song on Dr. Misguided Roses went Gold the song went Top 10 and was voted one of The Greatest Love Songs Of All Time by VH1. It turned out to be a good move." The popular WB TV show "Dawson's Creek" played "I'll Be", one of the album's most romantic ballads, on an episode of the show and sent McCain's career into overdrive. The label wasn't checking on us, so we made a quirky record. "We did it as a band in the basement of a friend's house in Nashville, living together and playing to a DAT recorder. It did well, but nothing could have prepared him for the frenzy that was created by his second outing, Misguided Roses. McCain's debut, Honor Among Thieves, captured his acoustic based blend of folk, pop and soul accented by some funky electric guitar, a horn section and backing singers. He sealed my fate by telling me not to do something." He should have said never be an accountant. When I was young, my dad made me promise to never be a musician. "My sister is a great singer, my dad played guitar and sax in swing bands in college, my mom plays piano. Edwin McCain was born in Greenville, South Carolina, where he still lives. ![]()
