Kat Eggleston has given us a gem.  The album is Speak and it is a masterpiece.  She wrote almost all the music.  Gorgeous.  Her guitar playing is complex and beautiful, and the voice - perfect.  This former singer for the David Munnelly Band and Bohola has played a blinder.  Kat.  Her guitar and her songs.  Each time we listen we hear more.
And, we listen more.  An easy and spectacular choice.

While this one is just Eggleston and her guitar, it's one of her finest albums I think (not that I don't also like her others).  
I like the subtle changes that are wrought on some older songs-- and the nuanced different perspectives on them.  and the newer songs are all great I think:  I especially like 'Trespass' for it's clear eyed yet poetic approach to romantic quandary,
but all are stong. She is also a terrific guitarist, if subtle and not flashy or grandstanding.  Her vocals owe
something to Kate Wolf and Joan Baez, her songwriting something to Joni Mitchell.  But Eggleston has carved out her
own significant and unique place and this album shows that.  Despite, or maybe because, of the simplicity of approach
here, I hear new and worthwhile things every time I play this album.

Kat Eggleston is a master storyteller, singer and guitar player.  The CD is simple and elegant--nothing added to obscure the story she weaves with guitar and voice. Listening to it is as close as it could be to the experience of hearing her play live.  Her voice contains wisdom, tenderness, humor and theatricality. The lyrics are personal, thoughtful and heartfelt. Kat's guitar playing is spirited, creative, clear and inspiring.
