Acclaimed singer/songwriter Edwin McCain's formula of earnest soul vocals over acoustic-led folk-rock has earned him a Top 5 Hit, a Top 40 Hit and another Top 100 Hit. In the midst of a career filled with self-penned songs, McCain recently took a rare break to record covers of his childhood heroes—a dream album of vintage R&B and classic southern soul songs. Nobody's Fault But Mine features the songs of legendary artists including Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Al Green, Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and more. McCain recently recorded the album with a dynamic band, including Eddie Bayers and Ivan Neville, plus special guests Steve Cropper and Joan Osborne. Nobody's Fault But Mine was recorded in the spirit of a live album, with little studio overdubbing or tweaks. This vibrancy makes it intimate and adds to the charm.

 Edwin's tribute to Southern Soul - Yes, he COULD have been in Earth, Wind and Fire! July 29, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It has been a while since Edwin has given us an album that showcases the rasp and rage and rumble of his voice and the depth of his musical roots. Born in Greenville, SC and steeped in his early performance days in Charleston, SC (with friends like Darius Rucker of Hootie and The Blowfish hitting the radio airwaves about the same time), Edwin has gone back to his roots and the music of his heart with this CD, and it shows in the final product.
Ed is more than a balladeer and more than a "two trick pony." This is the perfect album for a summer drive, a quiet night at home with someone you like, or as background music for a late summer barbeque or beachside bonfire. If you aren't swaying in your seat or bouncing around the family room with your kids by the fourth track, turn it up! All of us raised below the Mason-Dixon line (and many above!) will appreciate the production of this album, its mix of pop hits and little-known gems, and the unique but subtle re-working of these southern soul classics.
In this effort, an accomlished singer-songwriter has looked in the rearview mirror and honored those songwriters that gave him roots and wings. Pour the sweet tea (or Southern Comfort!), take your shoes off, and wiggle your toes in the warmth of this musical gift. It will be one of my favorites for years to come.
Thanks, Edwin, for making this ride as sweet, sweaty and soulful as ever.
Great vocals July 29, 2008

Goove Daddy has it right! July 24, 2008

I couldn't agree more with what Groove Daddy has said about "Nobody's Fault But Mine". Read his review for the best details about this album. Those of us who are ole timey fans of EMB know all too well that Edwin has been grooving soulfully for years, but this particular album affords him the opportunity to spotlight the very music that sparked the musician in him from the start. What a gift, to be able to rejoice, revisit, and revive the creations that first gave you life! In this, Edwin does these treasures justice, and all those involved do their best work. If you say you are disappointed, you ain't got no soul baby! This is SOUL at it's best, but of course, we have been spoiled by EMB for years. We expect no less from our guys. They have out done themselves, thanks guys! If I were the original artists I could not be more honored by what these talented folks have put together. I can't help but say, if you aren't an Edwin fan, there MUST be something wrong with you. Drop your preconceived notions, close your eyes, open your ears, your mind, your heart, and you can't help but enjoy!!!

...too much soul and not my expectation. Granted, a good voice and inflection, but that CD will most definately gather dust on my shelf.
Real singer. Real Soul! July 6, 2008

It seems like people have been giving this album pretty long reviews. Since a lot of what I feel has already been said, - great band (Ivan Neville, Eddie Bayers, Larry Chaney, Manny Yanes), great producer, and a lot of fun, I will keep mine short. It's just a great album. Summer is just the perfect time to release it too. It literally makes you want to get a 57 Checy, put the top down and cruse a highway by the sea. However, it's equally as good with a modern car and a sun roof. Jokes aside, it is seriously a great listen and Edwin's voice is the most powerful I have ever heard him, yes, even more than "I'll Be," which was a great song. I only wish more artists would do fun, Summery albums like this one.
