Calling Over Time is the debut album of Edith Frost, released in 1997 through Drag City.[5][6]

Critical reception

The Chicago Tribune wrote that "the wistful title song unfurls in a beautifully coiling melody while 'Too Happy' incorporates a surprisingly light, almost jazzy tempo and a buoyantly extroverted tune."[4] CMJ New Music Report wrote that Frost's "voice is so enticing that the listener is left with little choice but to listen again; it's then that Calling Over Time reveals itself."[7] Pitchfork called the album "a stark, haunting character study that captures where Americana was headed at the turn of the century ... one of the decade’s most captivating debuts."[8]
