5.0 out of 5 stars An Album of Down-to-Earth Poetry Straight from the Heart, October 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Close to You (Audio CD)

Kate Wolf was a folk artist who both defined and surpassed the limits of the genre. Without a lick of trendiness, grandstanding, or self-promotion, she goes to the depths of her own soul and brings out simple, profound images of many kinds of love--complex, straightforward, love of the land, of a relative, of a man--and presents them with consummate musical artistry. This album was my introduction to Kate Wolf's genius, and it remains a favorite. Listen to it with the attention it deserves, and Kate's music can literally change your life.

TOM GABRIEL SAID IT ALL IN HIS REVIEW.
KATE WOLF'S MUSIC AND LYRICS ARE PERSONAL. I FEEL LIKE I KNOW PART OF THIS PERSON WHO SANG THESE SONGS.
"CLOSE TO YOU" IS THE FIRST SONG OF KATE'S I HEARD, AND THE ALBUM IS MY FAVORITE. THE ROLLING COUNTRY SOUND OF THE SONGS IS SOOTHING AND HELPS HER LOVE FLOW FORTH. AND HER LOVE DOES COME THROUGH - IT HIGHLIGHTS THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF LIFE.
HER MUSIC WAS HER GIFT TO ALL OF US; THIS CD IS PACKED WITH TEN WONDERFUL PRESENTS.

I love Kate Wolf for her heartfelt lyrics and her perfect voice that wraps around me. It's the kind of music that I can listen to straight through several times in a row without getting tired of it.
It interested me to see how Pandora categorized her music. It cited its:
folk roots
country influences
acoustic sonority
vocal-centric aesthetic
major key tonality
After all that, I guess it sounds a little lame to just say, it makes me feel good. No one else seems to resonate with me the way Kate Wolf does.
