Background notes
Archive material and source history
Caitlin Cary was a founding member of the alt-country band Whiskeytown in the early 1990s, alongside Ryan Adams. The band's debut album 'Faithless Street' brought her songwriting to wider attention, particularly with the ballad 'Please Break My Heart' that became one of their signature songs.
After Whiskeytown dissolved in 1999, Cary began releasing solo work. Her debut solo album 'While You Were Sleeping' continued in a rootsy Americana vein, with songs like 'Second Option' and 'Shallow Heart, Shallow Water' exploring themes of relationships and personal reflection.
In 2000, Cary was diagnosed with breast cancer, an experience that influenced her subsequent music and perspective. She continued writing and recording through this period, maintaining the straightforward emotional quality that had characterized her work with Whiskeytown.
