What the Critics Are Saying...
Billboard Magazine (Critic's Choice*, 8/15/1998)
Can the world stand one more sensitive, storytelling troubador? If the artist in question is Cary, the answer is a resounding yes. Although it would be easy to accuse her her of being another Lilith wannabe, inspection of this title cut from her wonderful six-song EP reveals a poetic flair reminiscent of the the initial efforts of the Indigo Girls and Shawn Colvin. Perhaps the best thing about Cary is that she's neither superficial nor obnoxiously self-possessed. Rather, she unfurls a tale of love lost with a passionate empathetic hand. The song's simple acoustic arrangement is an added treat. No bells and whistles here, just a great song performed in a most intimate and engaging manner. Seek this one out.* "New releases, regardless of potential chart action, which the reviewer highly recommends because of their musical merit."Jeffrey Newman - Instinct Magazine (6/1998)

"Onion Dream is fan-freakin'-tastic!!!"The Patriot-News (12/31/00)
"A pre-'best of' pick for 2001. If the three song 'Rough Cuts' pre-release of this disc is any indication, the Hershey native now living in New York is a star waiting to happen."Free Times - Columbia, SC (8/01)
"Cary's latest CD, Onion Dream, is a pop-flavored slice of introspective acoustic folk that bears comparison to Shawn Colvin or Natalie Merchant."The Global Muse Music Magazine
"it's gratifying to have an artist like Meghan Cary around...songs like "Lori's Song," "Zero MPH" and "Rain Song," illustrate Cary's stellar gift of songwriting."

David Menconi - Critic's Picks, The News and Observer (6/18/04)
"It is Meghan Cary's curse that she's funny because nothing gets a singer/songwriter typecast better than a way with a wisecrack (just ask Loudon Wainwright III). But rather than suppress herself, Cary has wisely chosen to embrace her inner stand-up comic on her new album, 'Live at Your House', which does not scrimp on the humor. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll beg for more."Valerie Marino, The Cary News
Few artists have the ability to put out a live album that truly captures the essence of their performance. But with her latest release Meghan Cary has done just that.
