notes
kate newcomer teamed up with producer john abbey for her first full-length release.
when lou carlozo of the chicago tribune heard the first track, "horse in your heart" he offered that kate sounds like 'what would happen if joni mitchell and patti smith were battling for the same soul'
kate's sometimes vulnerable, occasionally confrontational vocals and rhythm guitar are backed by abbey (bassist for david poe, ray davies, john cale, daniel lanois, more) drummer howie kantoff (poster children, blue man group) and avant chicago pianist jim baker. the album also features blues guitarist eric brown, chicago dancer sarah bowen donning tap shoes and flautistry by indie film muse traci dinwiddie.

A new sound - here to stay
author: An admirer of good musicNo, I can't pin it down. The music on this CD is: fresh, original, moving, stimulating, captivating, thought-provoking. It is varied enough that it stays exciting even after repeated playings. I'm looking forward to the next CD.

I have been a big fan of Kate's forever, ever since she was in 10FM, and she is without doubt one of the gem's of America's music world. She will go a long way, and this album is just another rung in the ladder of success.
soulful, earthy, complicated
author: Suzanne Enck-WanzerLike her last cd, Can You Pin it Down? brings together smart lyrics responding to a world of interpersonal and global affairs that are forever getting more complicated. Soulful and earthy, Kate Newcomer's voice speaks to what makes us human and capable of complex emotions. I saw her perform "Lorena" at a coffee shop one night and the cut on this cd offers beautiful layers to an already deep vocalist. I've bought 10 copies already for all of my holiday gift-giving ...
