Synopsis

Amazon.com
Ahead of her time and somehow beyond time, Northern California singer-songwriter Kate Wolf now has a collection to represent all her craft, wisdom, and radiance. Produced and compiled by Wolf's son Max, the 35 songs on Weaver of Visions include every track from the previous anthology, Gold in California (less only "Full Time Woman" and the antinuke ballad "The Sun Is Burning"), and adds 10 live performances and two previously unavailable songs. The selection is impeccable, focusing on what Wolf's guitarist Nina Gerber has called "Kateness": an intimacy born of hard times, a communion forged in love's fire, a delicate soulfulness that few of her acoustic-oriented peers--Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams come to mind--have captured. Even if you own every Wolf album, Weaver of Visions will be a revelation--from the sparkling remastering to the elegant photographs to the intelligent, 42-page liner notes to the songs and voice that will tear out your heart, then mend and renew it once again. --Roy Kasten

CD Reviews

Weaver of Visions
musicland | Cardiff, South Glamorgan United Kingdom | 04/20/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am new to Kate Wolf's work. This anthology is a victory for those who have captured in two discs a rare beauty and serenity which borders on the spiritual. If you explore one singer songwriter this year who weaves spells with words and music that lives on beyond the transience of life itself this should be the one.Thanks to Emmylou Harris and especially to Nanci Griffith for keeping the candle burning, across the Great Divide."
Precious gems

"It's hard to describe in words just how perfect Kate Wolf is -- the voice, the songs ... Then again, I don't really have to: this excellent two disc compilation does it all for me, skimming the cream off her recordings. Fittingly enough, it includes a good heaping serve of live tracks, because Wolf in concert was a very special experience. If the compilers managed to miss a couple of my own favourites, well, that's simply a tribute to the consistent quality and depth of her songs. Listeners new are guaranteed to fall in love with Kate Wolf; listeners old will welcome a fine, fine compilation."

"Pacheco/RedtailHawk, Medicine Wheel,Across the Great Divide. I have several Kate Wolf Cd's and I seem to listen to this one the most, but there are many other songs and its hard to pick a favorite. Kate wasn't a country bluegrass stompin kind of singer but a beautiful folk singer. I wish I could go to the Kate Wolf Festival held in California every year,where a line up of wellknown singers sing there versions of her music. The information is on her website."
