About The Album A Great Wild Mercy (Oct. 13, 2023) explores integration and living in process as we enter a post-pandemic era. The songs on this album address our personal and community longing for connection in this exhausted time marked by fear and rage. Carrie writes that she thinks of her songs as "three and a half minutes of empathy, a welcoming space where the news of the world and the news of the heart have equally important roles to play." The album expresses a deep desire to experience something life-giving and generative emerging out of relationships across differences. "Everything has brought us here," Newcomer says. "The good, the glorious, the hard as stone, the seriously stupid things that have happened. It has all mattered and helped us become the persons we are today. I've never written an album because I have an answer, I write only because I have questions. I write myself in to my next becoming." Carrie Newcomer's music has always explored the intersection of the spiritual and the daily, the sacred and the ordinary. Over the course of her career she has become a prominent voice for progressive spirituality, social justice and interfaith dialogue. Her ability for sharp observation of the world lead the Dallas Morning News to rave, "She's the kind of artist whose music makes you stop, think and then say, 'that is so true.'" She has been described as "a soaring songstress" by Billboard, a "prairie mystic" by the Boston Globe and Rolling Stone has declared that Newcomer "asks all the right questions." Author Barbara Kingsolver wrote, "She's a poet, storyteller, snake-charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace."
