The Veil” was listed as #4 in the BASIC FOLK Top Ten Favorite Albums of 2022 So Far along with Anais Mitchell, Aiofe O’Donovan and Mary Gauthier.
“One of the best CDs of the year…” – Americana Highways
“Carey’s 11th album is a direct hit to the solar plexus…Carey has always had more talent than her national profile would suggest, and if this new work doesn’t raise that profile exponentially, there’s simply no justice left in the Americana genre.” -The Independent
“Carey pulls her heart wide open in this collection of articulate, highly personal songs…it isn’t always comfortable listening but, for those willing to persevere, the experience is a highly rewarding one.” – At The Barrier
“Six albums into her career—more if you count her various collaborations and live recordings—Edie Carey has established herself as a singer-songwriter who is apparently unafraid to get all the way into the depths of her feelings with her songwriting. Carey writes the kinds of songs that can feel like a relief to listen to, and that is because she is undeterred by vulnerability. On her latest album, The Veil, she unpacks thoughts and feelings about family: making it, holding it, struggling with it, cherishing it.
