Stay tuned…Catie’s new CD “Sweet Life” is coming September 9, but you can pre-order it now! You can already see how her own website is introducing it and listen to a few clips on Compass Records page!

I’ve had the privileged of getting an early review copy, and let me tell ya, it’s a fun…and sweet one! It’s likely that those of you having been to any shows in the last couple of years have heard some of the songs as she introduced them in her shows, like ‘Lovely’ (her movie theme), ‘Are You Ready to Fly?’ (Teenagers jumping off the bridge), ‘Everything Waiting to Grow’ (Joshua Trees), ‘Sing’ (camp & spiders), ‘The Princess & the Mermaid’ (kids). Death Cab for Cutie fans might even recognize Catie’s cover of their “Soul Meets Body“.

I’ll give a more detailed review as it nears release…and we help introduce it here with a new look. For now, I’ll just say that there are several songs on there that are heart touchers, a couple that are just ‘Happy’, and everything in between. I don’t find it abundantly rockin’, but it’s certainly got a nice full band sound with lot’s of Nashville’s best filling it all in with her. Recorded in Nashville, but don’t think “country”…it’s still full of Catie’s “folk-rock goddess”-ness with her parental love shining through!

Hard to believe it’s been 3 years since “Long Night Moon”, but exciting to have a new Catie CD on the way! Check it out!
