Saturday Crazy Redneck Music Blogging

I've been a fan of Kathy Kallick (and here) for thirty years. She's the best female bluegrass singer you've never heard of.

“A profound songwriter and expressive singer, San Franciscan Kathy Kallick is a mountain gal at heart. Her singing has always been earthy and passionate. As a songwriter, she knows how to pen beautiful impressionistic pieces with memorable contemporary messages. A troubadour and exquisite storyteller, (her) arrangements are tightly crafted, with each song given its own non-formulaic treatment.”
—Joe Ross, BLUEGRASS NOW

There's been a dearth of good videos of her on YouTube, but it's getting better. This is a pretty good one.

Kathy Kallick and the band perform her song "Wildflowers" at the grand opening of the new Freight and Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley. The band members from left to right are: Annie Staninec, Tom Bekeny, Kathy, Dan Booth and Greg Booth.

Fitting. F & S was one of her early venues lo those many years ago with the Good Ol' Persons band.

Enjoy.
