Summary: Essential Kate Wolf
Comment: 2 disc live performance that is the essential of this wonderful folk-soul singer...the in-concert acoustics are terrific and add to the powerful intimacy of the performance.

Summary: Gold on every track
Comment: This is the first Kate Wolf collection I owned--as a tape back before normal people had CDs-and Kate live, Kate live is something to remember, not that her other albums aren't obviously recorded live in the studio, not on separate channels. How do you get so good as this. Why isnt she a household word. Thank goodness there are so many recordings. It is really worth it hear, even if you have other recordings of these tunes because she speaks so personally every time she did a song. I've known who knows where the Time goes since Judy Collins did it around 1969, and enjoy Sandy Denny's version, but I have listened to Kate's version here for hours and it got me to perform the song!
The vision of California that Kate weaves on all her records is preciseless, unique real, and a treasure even if much of it is sweeten myth.
I feel so bad that I lived in San Fransisco and Oakland and travelled up and down California and the West Coast in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Kate was doing her best work and only saw her sing once. When I hear something like Sweet love on this CD, I wonder why I am not always listening to Kate. There is something to her voice that gets through to me, something pure. Now that I sing and play guitar and banjo and fiddle, I tend to listen to any singer or player that I hear trying to scope them out learn something, evaluate, figure out how to put what they do into my performance. Even though Kate plays the kind of music I have always wanted to play, I just sit there and listen to the song and receive its thoughts in my heart and mind. Part of Kate's magic is the superb arrangements and backup that gets from the musical genius Nina Gerber her main accompaniest. Nina is now out there solo alot. If you like guitar and this kind music check out Nina too.
Oh Kate, why didn't we realize how much of a golden treasure you were when you were among us. In her memory think of a performer you might miss like we all miss Kate--well that isnt fair because thats a big ideal to measure up to--how about someone you would miss half or a quarter as much as I miss Kate, and make sure you go see them while you can, and maybe bring a friend, bring two.

Summary: A Very Moving Album
Comment: If you don't know Kate Wolf's music, or you don't own any of her CDs, this is a great place to start. She sings with incredible authenticity and poignancy. Her original material is wonderfully well-written, and she makes excellent choices from the work of other songwriters. This is an unusually well-recorded and produced live album. I especially like her version of "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," which hits me much harder than the well-known Judy Collins version. This one never strays too far from my CD player.

Summary: Give Yourself To Love
Comment: I bought this album without knowing anything about it. When I first listened to it, I was amazed at the incredible beauty of her voice, her guitar skills and the lyrics of her songs. Medicine Wheel is my favorite on the album, but all of the pieces on this recording are beautiful. Growing up during the Viet Nam War, Agent Orange is stunning. I heartily recommend this album and have already ordered a second!
