Cary Morin is on the road again … well, actually, he's almost ALWAYS on the road, playing musical gigs and traveling in the camper with his wife, Celeste, and their dog, Zeus. As he pulled through Minnesota this summer, I had assumed he is all excited about his latest record, Together. Honestly, he is, but he's also on his way back home to Colorado to finish mixing yet another CD called Laid Back. How's that for a productive musician?

Cary lives in Fort Collins, Colo., and has produced four solo albums as well as one with Young Ancients, a trio he formed with two members of the Subdudes.

Cary had a series of gigs in the region, and I convinced him to slow down enough to play a few new and "newer" songs in the studio at Radio Heartland when he was in town.
