Okay, I admit it. I'm biased. Kathy is a close
friend. She's
also a marvelous songwriter. She blends bluegrass, folk and
country in her newest record, Reason and Rhyme. Wait
'til you hear "I Once Loved."
I discovered Rusty
during Paul McCartney's 2002 Back in the US Tour. He's Paul's
lead guitarist. He is also a fabulous singer and songwriter
in his own right. Witness Undressing Underwater,
his 2003 solo release.
I've seen Lucinda lots of times, queen of bittersweet alt country.
She always puts on a great show. Her latest, World Without
Tears, was nominated for a Grammy and I sure think it
deserves one. "Ventura" is my current faorite.
