While his albums are released under his name, he does have a permanent band, referred to as the Edwin McCain Band. Members of the band as of 2007 include Larry Chaney, lead guitar; Pete Riley, rhythm guitar and background vocals; Craig Shields, saxophone and keyboards; Manny Yames, bass guitar; and Peter Alexander, drums.
After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I'll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far from Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.
He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
A new CD was released in April, 2006 titled, Lost in America. Edwin recently signed a contract with Vanguard Records. This album (#8) is said to be a true "rock 'n roll" collection.

Daddy Loves You
Edwin McCain Lyrics
After the big parade, when all the limelight fades
I'll be the one to kiss your eyes
The roar fades in the air like hope from a lover's prayer
The light from my heart begins to rise
[Chorus:]
And they said I couldn't love you and that it would never last
He's just a crazy boy just look at his past
And they said I couldn't love you but that was just a lie
I couldn't love you more if I tried
I was the lucky one, the one having all the fun
Running into the sun, the party never ends
You waited there for me so loving and patiently
Shutting out sad words from your friends
(Chorus)
I don't own any armor and I might not be that brave
You might be the one I rescue but I'll be the one you save
(Chorus)
I'll be the one to kiss your eyes
The roar fades in the air like hope from a lover's prayer
The light from my heart begins to rise
[Chorus:]
And they said I couldn't love you and that it would never last
He's just a crazy boy just look at his past
And they said I couldn't love you but that was just a lie
I couldn't love you more if I tried
I was the lucky one, the one having all the fun
Running into the sun, the party never ends
You waited there for me so loving and patiently
Shutting out sad words from your friends
(Chorus)
I don't own any armor and I might not be that brave
You might be the one I rescue but I'll be the one you save
(Chorus)
