5.0 out of 5 stars This album is stunning in it's beauty and honesty., February 11, 1999

This review is from: Treasures Left Behind: Remembering Kate Wolf (Audio CD)

I put this album on and intended to listen as I worked. After the first few chords, I was stopped and stunned to stillness. The honest and poetic lyrics of Kate Wolf are not new to me but this interpretation of her work by her friends has moved me beyond any other album I have ever owned. Five stars are not enough. This album is the Milky Way.

5.0 out of 5 stars In memoriam Kate, June 13, 2001

This review is from: Treasures Left Behind: Remembering Kate Wolf (Audio CD)

A lovingly produced tribute to the late folk singer/songwriter. Some of the artists -- John Gorka, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams -- never met her but are fervent admirers. Others -- U Utah Phillips, Terry Garthwaite, Peter Rowan, Greg Brown -- worked with her. Each seems moved to invest something of their soul in the songs, and the result is extremely moving. Best tracks? Well, they're all great, but I'd give the nod to Dave Alvin's world-weary take on These Times We're Living In, and the age-meets-experience of Phillips on See Here She Said and Rosalie Sorrel's In China Or A Woman's Heart; and the instrumental version of Back Roads by Nina Gerber, Kate's own guitarist, who also acted as the producer and motivating force behind the project. If you don't know anything about Kate Wolf, you'll be a fan by the time the record's over; if you're already a fan, you'll be intrigued and moved by the different approach each artist brings to these songs. Get it; you'll never regret it.

Here is a tribute to an artist who lived deeply and fully, and was able to express herself simply and eloquently. The assembled artists do justice to the artistry of Kate Wolf. Each time I play this music, I am stopped still by the power of the words, heart-felt and enduring.
