GRAMMY NOMINATED FOR BEST TRADITIONAL FOLK ALBUM in 2007

BANJO TALKIN' is a fresh and innovative collection of original songs and
tunes mixed, with insightful interpretations of traditional old time music
played on clawhammer banjo. Cathy Fink follows in the footsteps of the great
country music pioneers who found their roots in traditional music while
evolving their own sound.

Cathy is best known as half of the Grammy® winning duo, Cathy Fink & Marcy
Marxer. They have been honored with over 45 awards in folk, bluegrass and
children's music from the Washington Area Music Association. Cathy & Marcy
have toured the US, Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and
Israel. www.cathymarcy.com

From the Washington Post, July 6, 2007
LOOKS LIKE MULTIPLE Grammy and Wammy winner Cathy Fink may have to make some additional room on her trophy shelf the next time votes are tallied. If
so, the banjoist-composer will have an awfully crowded list of artists to
thank.Starting with longtime collaborator Marcy Marxer, whose contributions
on cello and ukulele banjos help make "Banjo Talkin' " the colorful delight
it is.

    What a great album! It just blows my mind what a wide range of sounds that clawhammer banjo can be! Bob and Carolee is a great upbeat fun song (featuring two of the happiest instruments: banjo & ukelele). Coleman's March is wonderful, the cello banjo's low sounds can compete with any rap song's bass, and it's fun to play (the tab's in the Banjo Newsletter). 1st String Fling is really catchy too. It's all good, what more can I say?
