My Father's Only Son.......2005-09-10

This was a gift for my husband and he loved it.
This CD is more of a folk/ballad type of music.
She has a way of drawing you in and making you remember times of your own past.
My husband's favorite song is,"My Father's Only Son."

Carrie's twangiest.........2005-01-15

I love all of Carrie's music. This album is a great place for someone coming from country music to start with.

In my all time top 5 recordings!.......2003-01-15

Literally days after my wife and I moved to Indiana in 1993 we happened upon a concert in the city park; Carrie Newcomer opened the show and we've been fans ever since, eagerly awaiting each new album. Happily, we had the chance to meet and spend some time with her several times over the years, which has made her music even more special to us. My Father's Only Son remains my favorite of all her recordings for its strong writing, great melodies, and personal lyrics that reflect a lot of Carrie and a fair amount of midwestern life. It's a CD we've given as gifts and a copy has remained in our car for at least the last 75,000 miles we've driven. I highly recommend this disc to anyone into folk, singer-songwriters, or just plain real music that's about-- to quote Randy Travis from another context --"people and feelings." It's a desert island disc for sure!

My Personal Favorite.......2002-03-19

It's not easy to choose a favorite recording by Carrie Newcomer, since they are all excellent in different ways, but I would have to choose "My Father's Only Son" above the others. I keep coming back these songs as if they were old friends -- "My Father's Only Son" ('You don't talk much in a fishing boat/It just scares the fish away...'), "I'm Not Thinking of You", "Up In the Attic", "The Madness You Get Used To" and "The Rooms My Mother Made" are five solid reasons why this album should become part of your permanent collection. If you've never heard Carrie's voice wrap itself around your heart and mind, this just might be the best way to do it until you're able to see her in concert. She's a treasure.

An extremely talented performer and writer........1999-07-18

Carrie is a world class writer and performer. She has a voice that can carry the message in that special way it has to be done. I have yet to be disappointed in any of her works. I feel that she does not get the recognition she deserves.
