I'm Friday's Child
Been a minute since I composed a new piece—over 6 yrs in fact. Political activism and a continental move during a global pandemic intervened. Because I had sold all of my electronic equipment before my move to Finland, I was resigned to embark on no further recording. Then in September 2024, I…

Up To Me [ft Damien Riba on piano]
[heard on airwaves in Louisville, KY, area Apr 20, 2018, and found at 49 mins. here: https://soundcloud.com/chradio/kentuckiana-blues-radio-102] Mar 25, 2018: Maybe this is a straightforward "he done her wrong" song. Maybe it's a wider metaphor for how our nation's no.1 confidence man has sold…

Thing Called Love (add. lyrics)
[May 1, 2016—Happy May Day! Please see additional info on this global collaboration in notes at the shorter version here https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/thing-called-love ] Raitt omitted Hiatt's second set of bridge lyrics perhaps only because of the "wife" rhyme, but I imagine the "obey"…

Waltz to a Wood Thrush
July 16, 2015: How appropriate that my probable "swan song" here at kat330 was inspired by a bird a couple of weeks ago, a talented wood thrush to be specific! From his 6-note song, I heard a waltz melody in my head and began writing lyrics to fit. It was an unexpected yet joyous journey getting...
-
See a Little Light
Received an overnight visit from The Muse a while back with an insistence I cover this wonderful Bob Mould piece in a waltz tempo. It's not a song I knew all that well to start with, but I'd heard it on the radio in the preceding hours and, well, The Muse simply will not be denied. Per usual I…

Transistor Sister
June 16, 2015: Posted at the Indie Media Weekly site here: http://tinyurl.com/pg5m87b Nov 27th [Thanksgiving for US]: Preferred if this lighthearted piece wasn't already in the pipeline given the sickening injustice of Monday's Night of No Indictment. But having a minor scale taste of local...

Moondance
May 17, 2014 If you dismiss my field recording, Blue Angels vs. Red Birds (and I do), it's been two months since I've done any new creative recording. Neighborhood noise is certainly a factor, but also there has been a matter of a claims case filed against a real lyin', deceivin', cheatin' and...

Michael from Mountains
October 24, 2013 First heard this sweet and cheery song, and so many others I performed long ago, on Judy Collins' treasured "Wildflowers" album, and likewise, I learned my piano (Korg harpsichord mode) accompaniment from her superb "Songbook" of the period. Cello, oboe, harp and flute parts...

Children of Darkness (kodiaktom w/kat330)

Can't Help Falling in Love
[for Margaret] This was one of my mother's favorite songs—certainly her favorite Elvis tune. I have fond memories of singing the upper harmony to her melody line whenever it came on the radio. It was a fitting choice then as the closing song for a live set performed at her senior center shortly...

My Heart Is Yours+The Soulmate Waltz
July 1, 2013 For JT's 40th birthday a couple of years ago, I wrote him a two-verse limerick [http://tinyurl.com/plbfb76 ]. Now, for his 42nd birthday today, I composed a melody to actually work with the rhythm and the AABBA rhyming of my stanzas, expanding the original words only with some...

East St. Louis Blues
[REMASTERED for SC D/Ling anew here: https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/east-st-louis-blues-remaster ] This seemed like a fun idea in the middle of the night, which means it probably should never be heard in the light of day. One great advantage to getting older, however, is no longer giving a...

Catch the Wind
[REMASTERED version here for D/Ling anew: https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/catch-the-wind-remaster This Donovan classic became part of my early repertoire less than a year after it arrived in the U.S. In this version I've overdubbed some harmony, and I've added bits of kantele, melodica and...

Glad Gliese (to "Sad Lisa")
Written to the lovely, bittersweet melody of Cat Stevens' "Sad Lisa" off “Tea for the Tillerman,” my new lyrics here were inspired by the October 1, 2010, Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) found at this link: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap101001.html. The substitute poem was posted at my...
-
I Don't Believe You
I guess it's long past high time I included a Dylan cover here. After all, he is what inspired me to ask Mom for a guitar and, probably, his "Blowin' in the Wind" was the first tune I taught myself on it. "I Don't Believe You" is a little jewel from "Another Side," overshadowed and usually...

Frankie's Blues
[REMASTERED version here: https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/frankies-blues-remaster ] This is my no-nonsense cover of Dave Van Ronk's "Frankie's Blues" as learned from his "Just Dave Van Ronk" Mercury Records LP of 1964. The song is his take on the tragic lovers of Frankie and Johnny. At about...

Someday Soon
REMASTERED and new D/Ling: https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/someday-soon-remaster This second self-recording is of Ian Tyson's "Someday Soon," which became part of my folk repertoire after hearing Judy Collins cover it back in the late '60s. I've revised Tyson's lyrics a tad, however, so I…
