I am not a big fan Kate Wolf. I liked her as a performer and I liked her voice and especially her back up musicians. I just found most of her songs too cosmic for my tastes. That said, when she wrote a song I liked I really liked it. Trumpet Vine, Carolina Pines, Eyes of a Painter, Great Divide are four. And I can't argue with her skill at phrasing and pacing. Read through the lyrics to Eyes of a Painter and this should be obvious. It is a sad thing she left us so long ago. I wouldn't have minded another Trumpet Vine to listen to. Don Meixner
