Review:
Well worth hearing
This album was my introduction to Kate Wolf. It’s not bad; it does
get a bit samey after a while, but she is worth persevering with.
Kate Wolf wrote and
sang nice, quite tuneful songs, often with a strong story. They are
on the border between folk and country; she sings very well and the
production is good and the overall sound is very pleasing. I do
find, though, that after a while I feel I could do with a bit of
variety and the whole album gets a bit much. I’m glad I found her,
though, because this was good enough to persuade me to try An Evening
In Austin, her live album which is very good indeed and shows rather
better than this what a fine singer and songwriter she was.
So, overall this is
decent but not great, but I would strongly recommend An Evening In
Austin. You may well want to come back to Back Roads after hearing
it.
