I have a ton of CD's and most are major label with only one really good song. Kate Barclay is a major talent in many ways, with one great song after another. I got more bang for my buck that any other CD I have bought. This girl's CD explodes with talent, all I have to say is....WOW!!!

Kate Barclay is gifted. Gifted like only few are. Kate's music is folk - to be sure - and drifts into pop territories without losing the sincere dedication Barclay exhibits to her art. Her vocal phrasings and overall performance are brilliant - as are her intelligence and songwriting abilities. World class music. The 1999 CD, "Sunshine From Mars", is a 12 song collection of moving music. The record opens with a tune called, "Tuna Town", and although a fun poke at too much poking. . . it doesn't reflect the music to come. Who would know after listening to "Tuna Town", with it's lyric, '. .little did i know i was sharing you with dozens, you said. . you had to go out and spread your seed, take your skin boat to tuna town. . and poke and poke and poke around', that Barclay would launch masterpieces with their heartfelt melodies like, "All I Want", "Everything", and the final track, "For a Dollar". Clearly, "All I Want", is a hit - needs to be heard, for its chorus. .mp3'd here. Track 3, "Stop the Violence", showcases Barclay's interpretations vocally - she moves in and out of the tune like a finely tuned instrumental solo - her dynamics and rhythms moving hypnotically and without warning - like the subject she sings in the song, gun violence. The CD is outstanding and a must for anyone who appreciates the singer/songwriter genre - not much more to say - Kate Barclay, accomplished acoustic guitarist, tremendous singer/songwriter, and a gift.

Kate Barclay is a very talented singer/songwriter with a great voice, and a good live performer as well. "For a Dollar" has the potential to be a classic. Her style switches between sparce folk songs and Jam Rock numbers influenced by Led Zeppelin and Phish, (trey, a fellow VT native actually plays a little guitar on the CD). All around superb music that shows vision and depth lacking in most music today.
