Synopsis

Album Description
Limited two CD pressing of this 2009 tribute album contains a bonus disc featuring original versions of the songs performed by Kath Bloom. Disc One contains sixteen artists from around the world, who come together to pay tribute to the arresting, gorgeous songs of Connecticut Folksinger Kath Bloom. Compiled over two years by Chapter's Guy Blackman and San Francisco filmmaker Caveh Zahedi (who first met Kath in 1980), Loving Takes This Course features artists such as Bill Callahan, Devendra Banhart, Mark Kozelek, The Dodos and Scout Niblett. Since the mid '70s, Kath has beguiled listeners with her haunting voice and powerfully honest songwriting. In the 1980s she made six albums with avant-garde guitarist Loren Connors which are now highly prized collector's items. Then in the 1990s her bewitching song "Come Here" transfigured the Richard Linklater film Before Sunrise. But it is in the last few years that Kath Bloom has truly come into her own. Beginning with the Chapter Music album Finally in 2006, Kath has begun to reach a whole new generation of fans, including many who make music themselves. 31 tracks.
