	Carolyn Mark and the New Best Friends: The Pros and Cons of Collaboration - PopMatters Music Review
		Mark has proved herself to be a sharp-tongued, tough, funny songwriter, able to stand comfortably on her own wiseacre merits.
		Mark's songs are three parts alcohol and two parts bon mot, a traditional style that owes multitudes to Nashville's past and seems to flaunt a middle finger towards the contemporary incarnations of Music Row.
		As a songwriter, Mark is most effective when she reads a tipsy riot act; you can almost see her eyes rolling with a no-nonsense, endearingly cynical attitude.

		Yes, Carolyn Mark might well be one of the sweetest and funniest people in the entertainment business today (a very arguable point) but is that suppose to buy her a get out jail card as far as quality shows are concerned?
		Carolyn Mark is one of the sweetest and funniest people in the entertainment business.
		Carolyn has a wonderful voice, but the real strength of her show is her manner.

	"Puppy Love"
		Carolyn's replies are too nonchalant for the Captain, " I can't tell whether you're serious or not." "Why should I be serious?" she asks.
		Later, Carolyn asks Candy how she got the fl eye, and both she and the Captain are shocked when Candy tells them she got it from boxing with Mark.
		Carolyn is even more shocked when Candy tells her how Mark thought she was a boy.

	Ink 19 :: Carolyn Mark
		As her sophomore effort Terrible Hostess avers, Carolyn Mark is one of the most talented musicians to emerge from this scene.
		Mark is backed by a band who doesn't just play along with her singing, but instead the Roommates (Tolan McNeil and Garth Johnson) bring greater depth to each song by anticipating and understanding each bend and even the most subtle intonation of her voice.
		Despite claiming to be a terrible hostess, Mark has not shed the "Party Girl" persona of her debut album.

		I recently had the chance to talk to Carolyn over the phone during her short break from touring, and, true to her lyrical odes to alcohol, I was no less sure of Mark's sobriety at the end of the interview than the opening words.
		Either way, she was a delight to talk to, happily discussing the past, present and future of her life and music with the energy of a small child on speed.
		Mark's personality also seemed uncannily similar to the tone of her music---once again confirming her as a songwriter that sings what she means and isn't about to let that change without one hell of a fight.

	Splendid: Departments: LiveLine: Carolyn Mark and Her Room-Mates, Danielle Howle, Kelly Hogan
		For me, Carolyn Mark and her Room-Mates (Tolan McNeil and Garth Johnson) were the big draw this evening; although Mark has been through Chicago before with fellow Corn Sister Neko Case, this was her first time in town with McNeil and Johnson.
		Mark specializes in hummable country-folk-pop songs that just happen, more often than not, to be gut-bustingly funny, and her energetic performance won her a lot of fans.
		Although she'd been fighting a throat ailment for days, had canceled her previous few appearances due to ill health, and had already performed once that evening (at the record release show for Bloodshot's anti-death penalty comp The Executioner's Last Song), Hogan was in good form, welcoming this final performance of her current tour.

	Carolyn Mark: Terrible Hostess - PopMatters Music Review (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Mark serves up ten country-infused tracks, which range from rousing to smoldering, and are both more polished and looser than those on her debut, Party Girl.
		Many of the songs on the record reference the musician's life, and here Mark realizes the Catch-22 that no amount of hard work will get you where you want to be without luck, and no amount of luck will make up for not working hard.
		Mark uses her voice (and the vocal harmonies of her Room-mates) to fantastic, evocative effect, both desperate and joyous.

		Carolyn and Mark (reflected with camcorder in window) are 3 for 5.
		Mark had a chance to meet her during the Eclipse party, and was honored with an invitation to visit the island during the opening of their new science center in two years' time.

	Montreal Mirror : Music : Carolyn Mark
		Following a few Hootenannies away from her home turf, Mark felt ready to lead a country, folk 'n' roll caravan across the country.
		The Hootenanny aside, Mark has shunned routine throughout her music career, having worked with an array of Canadian and American rock and country musicians in studios nationwide, often on a whim and sometimes giving her guest players five seconds' notice.
		Mark's pliable sound reflects a reliance on rock-oriented musicians because, relative to the States, and despite the spirit of its communities that persevere in each city, Canada is low on country music.

	Cokemachineglow.com - Carolyn Mark and the New Best Friends: The Pros and Cons of Collaboration
		Carolyn exudes sex with her voice but also demands respect for her obvious-as-day talent and true blue country heart.
		That said, however, Carolyn Mark has more than proven herself a talented lyricist, vocalist and songwriter with this record, one that definitely shows her quickly stepping toward something truly great.
		And so, here I sit, anxiously awaiting the next to come from the talented and promising Miss Mark and The New Best Friends, knowing that I probably won't know quite what to make of that, either, other than knowing that something very unique and special is going on.

		I know that Carolyn was on the weekend before last, but she wasn't on this weekend.
		I hope that they do continue to contribute, but as I read in one of Mark's messages, a forum of this nature is, unfortunately, of necessity, very strict in terms of its content and codes of conduct - which I fully appreciate and support.
		I also think that Mark and Carolyn have been extremely generous giving their time, money and other resources to this website alongside their other commitments.

	Carolyn Mark - Pandora Internet Radio
		After the group's 1998 dissolution, Mark formed the Corn Sisters, a duo with fellow insurgent country diva Neko Case -- a Seattle live performance later constituted their 2000 debut, The Other Women.
		Mark also mounted a solo career, backed by guitarist Tolan McNeil and drummer Garth Johnson (her real-life housemates, hence their professional moniker the Room-Mates), and after signing to the Mint label, she again hit the road -- her 2000 solo debut, Party Girl, assembled 11 songs cut across Canada, at least one from each province.
		Mark's long-standing fascination with the classic Robert Altman film Nashville led to the 2002 release of an all-star tribute to the movie's soundtrack, with contributions from Case, Kelly Hogan, the New Pornographers' Carl Newman, and other stalwarts of the Canadian indie scene; her sophomore solo effort, the excellent Terrible Hostess, followed that summer.

		That said, Mark is a solid singer and capable of weaving a few tales of delight, along side a few hummable melodies and jazzy surprises.
		In mid-2003, Case, Mark and Chicago singer/songwriter performed a handful of shows in Chicago, New York and (gasp!) Washington, DC, in a round-robin showcase fashion, where each singer took turns performing their material.
		Mark’s finest moment is “Not a Doll,” an updated take on a song that made its first appearance with the Corn Sisters.

	Cokemachineglow.com - Interview: Carolyn Mark
		Mark: Well, I don't know about the farm, but I was forced to play the piano as a child and there wasn't really lots else to do other than chores (laughs).
		Mark: Well, he was like "Well maybe someone famous could sing your songs and you could make money!" (laughs).
		All three are solid excursions into her unique mixture of country, bluegrass, rock, rockabilly, singer/songwriter and folk, to name but a few---all anchored by her large, powerful vocals (again recalling Neko Case), shameless sense of storytelling and wonderful sense of humour.

	Carolyn Mark : The Pros and Cons of Collaboration - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Vancouver-based singer Carolyn Mark is from the old-time era of country music as defined on the sweeping "Overture," which moves from dirge-like arrangements to early honky-tonk to a traditional country lament.
		The singer is especially stellar when she gets down to business on the melodic singer/songwriter pop polish oozing from "Not a Doll," which brings to mind a cross between Natalie Merchant and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
		The momentum continues on the narrative "Vincent Gallo," a song Mark takes to the next level by describing what happened in a gorgeous alt-country arrangement.

	Mint Records: Carolyn Mark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Kelly Hogan was supposed to fly out from Chicago to sing but as it was near Christmas she couldn't find a flight for less than a gazillion dollars so we Fedexed her a tape and she added long-distance amazing harmonies on "Jody and Sue".
		To keep in with the whole 'science thing' with the lab-coats I addressed the envelope to Dr. Hogan from Dr. Mark and well this made the boys at customs real interested in our little package so it took a little longer for her to get the tape.
		During Carolyn's years of constant touring, she has made friends with singers and players from far and wide.

	Hour.ca - Music - Hootenanny tour with Carolyn Mark
		This time around, Mark will be bringing us a '60s-style hootenanny like the weekly deals she's been hosting in her hometown these past months, which were imported from Kingston.
		Mark, who cites "drunkenness" as the number one quality to look for in a Hootenanny emcee, will keep the music coming and wrangle talent, as well as manage the board, which will be kept open for last-minute comers.
		Mark's "Hootnanny Cruise" reminds me of sing-alongs that took place on New York's Staten Island Ferry in the early 1960's.

	Music - Carolyn Mark and Her Room-Mates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Carolyn Mark is one of those troubling examples of altcountry singers who seem completely devoted to the music, but only in an exaggerated, stereotype-laden fashion that undercuts the style's real charm.
		Unfortunately, what subtlety there was in Altman's artistic high-wire act seems to have been lost on Mark and her pals, who treat the film as a y'allternative Rocky Horror Picture Show, slavishly recreating its songs so they can hoot and holler at the genre they profess to love.
		Thus, the musicians are undone by their own push towards irreverence: When it comes to Altman's sneering send-up of country music, these modern-day twangsters are all giggles and snorts, yet sadly, the same is true of their take on the director's insights into humanity.

		Mark heckled Case and from that grew a sibling-style friendship.
		Originating from that kinship, Mark explained how the Corn Sisters came to be, "I collect corn knick-knacks, [Neko] had this dream that we were this traveling duo called 'The Corn Sisters'" and so they spent a weekend rehearsing and writing material for this tongue-in-cheek twosome to perform.
		It was recorded for free and Mark explained that after the set, "all these people were like 'Do you have a CD?' and it was like a cartoon where all of these dollar signs were walking out the door.

	Hour.ca - Music - Carolyn Mark
		Tireless Party Girl and noted terrible hostess Carolyn Mark finally has the art of recording down to an exact science.
		Kicking it all off with a rousing theatrical Overture, Mark's rock 'n' roll experiment is a western travelogue of twang akin to filmmaker Bruce Robinson's restless, heartening epic Withnail and I: a musical ode to the search for cake and fine wine.
		Mark painted as a Bohemian riding the wave of female solo artists cracking the mainstream.

		Carolyn Mark and the New Best Friends don't have bad record on their hands; they have one in The Pros and Cons of Collaboration that is undeniably easy to dismiss.
		It wouldn't be too terribly surprising to run into Carolyn Mark and the New Best Friends on a café tour, or on a list for up and coming artists.
		Stopping to listen to their lyrically harmless songs about Vincent Gallo and Thanksgiving over double shots of Americano is justifiable, but buying the album from the merch table would seem a waste.
