It’s been custom at Profiles in Folk to start the New Year off with at least two weeks of programming of favorite CDs from the year just past. I decided to end that concept this year. There are simply too many recordings being produced each year and too little time to listen to them all.
So, this year of 2002 started with live guests last week and a mixed bag of music this week, although with a few glances back. During the first hour, I put the spotlight on Kate Campbell, one of the most moving performers I heard in live performance during 2001 and three new recordings. The second hour was all bluegrass and included a tribute to one of the year’s top selling albums the “O Brother” soundtrack as well as taking note again of the death of John Hartford, a major loss for the music world during the past year. (Sadly, his wife Marie also died as this new year began).
