Album Notes

Songs from the Witches Wood is a vocal retrospective collection spanning the early years for Kate's career. It contains songs from Hungry Moon, Dreams of Annwfn, Not Far from Here, The Time Between plus a few never released songs. The songs have been remixed and remastered and additional instrumentation has been added to give these historical tracks new dimension.

The title refers to the densely wooded area at the back of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire where Kate played and got her start as a performer. Many of the pieces in this collection were written, conceived or debuted there.

from her website:

At the heart of the contemporary Celtic revival dwells soul of Kate Price. A talented multi-instrumentalist with a rich and beautiful voice, Kate continues to defy the very genre her early work helped define. Her music is as much a journey for her as for the listener.

Her repertoire blends cross cultural influences with her lyrical voice and her dynamic yet intimate sensibility. Noting this, one reviewer summed her up as “one part faery, one part gypsy”, and called her performance style “warm, elegant and intimate”.

The music industry, in it’s attempt to classify and categorize, has frequently compared Kate to Loreena McKennit, however this comparison does not really serve either of these talented women. While there are certainly similarities, the astute listener will quickly see that Kate’s music is quite distinctly her own vision.
