“I Call Your Name” is a song recorded by Lou Reid, Terry Baucom and Carolina, the band led by the singer Lou Reid and the banjo player Terry Baucom. It appeared on an album released in 1994.
The song is a lonesome heartbreak number. Apart from someone he loves, the singer calls out a name into the emptiness — a gesture of longing that the absence will not answer.
Reid and Baucom were both veterans of leading bluegrass bands before forming Carolina.
