Kate Wolf An Evening in Austin [Live] Music
by Kate Wolf

About this Music

The intimate setting of the University of Texas facility where the Austin City Limits television show is taped proves the perfect venue for singer-songwriter Kate Wolf. Wolf shines whether stretching out on up-tempo numbers such as "Picture Puzzle" and "Like a River" or focusing on her trademark acoustic ballads. It's a comfortable performance, scattered with stories and gentle jokes. Nina Gerber adds extra instrumental spice and Tom Diamant throws in spot-on harmony. Recorded a year before her death, An Evening in Austin includes such Wolf favorites as "Give Yourself to Love," "Friend of Mine," and "The Redtail Hawk." It's equally effective as an introduction or an overview of a much-missed artist. --Alexandra Russell
