Album Notes

Michigan songwriter Kitty’s self-produced 3rd CD expands on her use of traditional instruments (fiddles, pipes & cittern) in contemporary songs. From achingly spare arrangements to the use of a full-blown band, every note is used to augment Kitty’s three-octave voice as she sings her songs about love on the verge of being lost, dancing in the fall, the ballad of a farmers wife, an ode to the north country, givin’ in to the blues...

“...one of the best albums I’ve ever heard...the work of a ringer. Donohoe has a laid-back singing style and a voice that could ruffle the feathers on any school boy’s neck.” Fast Folk Musical Magazine

“...one of those rare performers who can grab your attention no matter what you’re doing and richly reward you with sustained gifts...rare skill.” Champlain Folk

“...an excellent collection of songs well sung and
arranged.” Dirty Linen
