Kate Wolf We Walked By The Water Lp Lionel Kilberg Don Coffin Rare!. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Vinyl is Excellent Condition, Cover is Good..Kate Wolf (1942-1986) recorded her first album in 1973. A result of a chance meeting with 'old' folkie Lionel Kilberg (1930-2008), who was traveling across the country. In a day or two they composed 12 songs and recorded them prompt.It was released as Volume 6 of Lionel's series "Sociologically Singing" as the (mono!) LP "We Walked By The Water" on the independent Shoostryng label.Lionel KilbergKilberg (pic left) had recorded as one of The Shanty Boys in 1958 for Elektra and been part of the New York folk scene in the Village days of the early sixties. From that period he knew Gil Turner (1933-1974), nowadays best known as a footnote in Bob Dylan hagiographies: Turner recorded in 1962 with the young Robert 'Blind Boy Grunt' Zimmerman.When Kilberg ran into Gil 'Jellyroll' Turner in 1973, Kate Wolf sang and played with Turner. (A beautiful cover by Kate Wolf of Turner's signature song, "Carry It On", an impressive folk anthem, would much later be released in a KPFA live version on a 1996 posthumous released Kate Wolf album.)So Lionel and Kate recorded with a little help of Kate's partner Don Coffin their 12 songs. It was to be Kate's first album. Though... this album should not be considered a Kate Wolf album, at least that's what the Wolf heirs want us to believe. See Wolf family excuse.But to me this is a genuine Kate Wolf album. It is largely a Kate Wolf album with Lionel's accompaniment. Kate is prominent: these are her melodies, and -most of all- this is her voice. One of the finest voices ever in Americana folk/ singer songwriters.Some of these sober, clean & instant recorded songs have great strength: 'You', 'Help', 'Sonja F' and 'Breezes' are excellent. Kate at her best: this matches her best album, 'Poet's Heart' (1985).It's a pity that the collection contains no more than 12 short songs, not much more than half an hour of music. The lyrics may not have been written by her, but some could have been hers, with subjects like bums, music, traveling, freedom, nature. Themes she later frequently would use in her own lyrics.
