Cuilionn, Kat Eggleston may not do a lot of traditional music, but I think a lot of her stuff has a very traditional sound to it. She certainly had a beautiful voice. Here's a gospel-sounding song she wrote from her 1997 CD called Outside EdenGo to the Water
copyright, Kat Eggleston, 1997
chorus: Go to the water, walk down slow,
Where the rock is battered and the branch hangs low
Where the sea is rough, the sun burns hotter
To know love, go to the water
You walked through the garden in the early spring
Where the wild blossom was a growing thing
You pressed that flower in your favorite book
And kept its color, but never bore fruit.
Nothing so smooth as the side of a thorn,
Nothing so calm as the eye of a storm
To young love, nothing so sweet
As the sound of a promise no one could keep.
It laughs and shouts where it touches land
And it holds the world like a loving hand
It's a bed of pearls on a moonlit night
Full of life, no end in sight.
The same album has very nice renditions of Flower of Northumberland and "Pastures of Plenty."
