Album Notes

Winner of the 1999 Telluride Bluegrass Festival "Troubadour" award for Vocals and Songwriting, Libby Kirkpatrick's "Winged" shows her growth and development as a uniquely powerful and original singer-songwriter. Favored as her best work to date, the self-released "Winged" features songs like "Vaulted Heart" "To A Child" "Wait" "Silver Road" "White Eyelashed Girl". "Winged" shows her growth and development as an extremely powerful and refreshingly original singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist. Stunning audiences with her wide vocal range, serious command of dynamics, and her award-winning open-hearted lyrics, "Winged" is favored as her best offering to remarkably capture the essence of her solo-acoustic live performances. Her signature fluttering falsettos and perfect-pitch vocal improvisations combine with her passionate metaphorical imagistic writing style for a very emotive presentation. This is her contemporary folk-rock solo acoustic singer-songwriter masterpiece.

”Her captivating performances at festivals and notable acoustic venues across the nation have already created a serious buzz... An assured guitarist and songwriter with a dynamic, soaring voice, Kirkpatrick most clearly evokes Joni Mitchell, but comparisons to Rickie Lee Jones, Shawn Colvin or even Ani DiFranco wouldn’t be unfounded.” -– Jeremy Egner, Austin American-Statesman
