Show Notes

The voice I'm referring to belongs to Kate Wolf. She wrote and performed (mostly in her native California) over 200 songs. Her music comes directly from the heart and tends to be bittersweet.

A recording of Kate playing a song by Tom Paxon called “Hold On to Me Babe” drew me to Wolf’s music again. Her voice is transcendent, as it is in most of her recordings. I haven’t been listening to Kate’s music lately, and her version of Paxon’s song reminded me of the beautiful realms she takes me to.

Here's my cover of one of Kate's early works titled "Looking Back At You."

[00:00:08] Never wrote a song for you that touched me like you do. [00:00:14] We'll end this again now now that we're finally through. [00:00:20] You always wanted it to feel that way and you gave it all your heart But I didn't know my mind and it kept us far ap Now I see in your eyes the love I always knew for the first time in a long time it's seen me looking back at you when you let me go Like I said I wanted to the farther I went away the closer I felt to you now we're both sitting here crying lying like we never could do before and the best part of it all is not lying to you anymore Now I see in your eyes the love I always do for the first time in a long time it's in me looking back at you Wipe away the tears Funny how love's done Just when you let it go it comes back on the run and if I could give you anything to take along with you it's all the love I found looking back at you Now I see in your eyes the love I always knew for the first time in a long time it's in me looking back at you for the first time in a long time it's in me looking back at.
