Edwin McCain is an American singer-songwriter and musician. His songs “I’ll Be” of 1998 and “I Could Not Ask for More” of 1999 were radio top-40 hits in the U.S. Five of his albums have reached the Billboard 200. In all, he has released eleven albums. The first two being released independently.
He graduated from Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville, South Carolina. He then briefly attended both the College of Charleston and Coastal Carolina University. Longtime touring friends with Hootie and the Blowfish, his band signed with the same label, Atlantic Records. He recorded his first major-label album in 1994. Honor Among Thieves under the Lava Records imprint (Matchbox Twenty, Kid Rock and Jewel). The record was then released in 1995. The second album, Misguided Roses, featured “I’ll Be”, a major hit single in 1998. The song also is featured on the charitable album, Live in the X Lounge, along with a live version of “Solitude”. It was then featured in the 2000 drama television show, Higher Ground. It was also featured as the 2004 teen flick, A Cinderella Story.
McCain’s third album, Messenger, which included a second Top 40 hit, the Diane Warren-penned “I Could Not Ask For More,” was released in the summer of 1999. It was produced by Matt Serletic (Matchbox Twenty, Collective Soul) and Noel Golden. It was recorded at Tree Sound Studios and Southern Tracks in Atlanta as well as Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles. The single “I Could Not Ask For More” was then featured on the soundtrack for the 1999 film Message in a Bottle.
Having fulfilled his four-album contract, he split from Lava/Atlantic at the end of 2001. In early 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of old and new songs called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records. ATC Records is a Nashville-based independent record label Sessions. It was recorded in roughly 20 days, punctuated McCain’s major-label departure with an intentionally stripped-down sound. It offered some fan favorites from his early days of touring, including Dire Straits’ “Romeo and Juliet”. This album, coupled with McCain’s first DVD, Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway (2002) – it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material – it served as a thank-you to longtime followers. In an interview in May 2003 with Billboard, he noted, “The whole package is sort of saying, ‘I’m back doing what I started doing.'” The musician also hosted, “Inside Music With Edwin McCain”, a syndicated show on the Sirius radio network on the same.
