Blurbs

*Cormac McCarthy is considered one the finest singer/songwriters that New England has ever produced.  He was called by the Boston Globe, “A leading light of the urban songwriter revival…” who proclaimed his 4th album Curious Thing a “soft-spoken triumph.” His album, Picture Gallery Blues was called “an unassuming masterpiece” by The Boston Phoenix.
Cormac continues to grow as an artist and it’s evident on his newest album, Collateral.  It’s the product of wisdom and experience with lyrics and images “too precise to be anything but truth.” (Portsmouth Herald).
