Kate Taylor - Sister Kate - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Kate Wolf's debut is an album made by people who live and work in Sonoma County, California. Kate Wolf is a family woman, songwriter, bar singer, country music DJ and folk festival programmer who performs regularly with her band, InchThe Wildwood FlowerInch. For five days in July they got together with friends in a living room on the north coast where they recorded these songs. Album Tracks 1. Lately 2. Emma Rose 3. Sitting on the Porch 4. The Redtail Hawk 5. Telluride 6. Goodbye Babe 7. It Ain't in the Wine 8. Tequila & Me 9. Legend in His Time 10. Riding in the Country 11. Oklahoma Going Home 12. Back Roads

Kate Wolf had a great affinity for the California coast, and she frequently performed in Mendocino County venues in the middle years of her career. When Nicholas Wilson told Kate's family that he had recorded many of these shows, we were excited about the prospect of releasing them. Nick's 15 hours of tapes were made directly from the soundboard at each concert, and he painstakingly digitized nearly 200 song performances. We then turned to Nina Gerber, Kate's long time accompanist, who had compiled two other posthumous Kate Wolf collections. Her deep and intimate familiarity with Kate's music, along with a desire for quality that matched Kate's, resulted in a selection of 20 tracks that we feel beautifully represent Kate. We're particularly delighted about the inclusion of three previously unreleased Kate Wolf songs Album Tracks 1. You and I Together 2. Rain Song 3. She Rises Like the Dolphin 4. Links in the Chain 5. The Heart 6. Across the Great Divide 7. I Don't Know Why 8. 20/20 Vision (And Walking Around Blind) 9. Back Roads 10. Scott's Creek Bluff 11. The Trumpet Vine 12. Golden Harmony 13. Safe at Anchor 14. 2-4-D 15. Riding in the Country 16. The Lilac & the Apple 17. Early Morning Melody 18. Lonesome 19. Great Love of My Life 20. Everbody's Looking for the Same Thing
