"FYI, this album is not by the late Kate Wolf of Sonoma County, California. It is by another artist in Washington using that name. This message is intended to avoid any confusion. - Max Wolf (California Kate Wolf's son)"
Will the real Kate Wolf please stand up?

"This is a fine debut album of a certain sort. For those like me, however, who assumed it was by the original, one and only, clear-voiced, honest and plain-spoken singer-songwriter-poet, the late Kate Wolf, it is a gross disappointment. Some of us think the earlier Kate Wolf the finest realistic folk lyricist of the past 30 years. A previous reviewer's incautious suggestion that the original Kate Wolf may have postumously usurped the identity of this later artist can most charitably be viewed as an unguarded malappropism. While I would not attribute any but the best of motives to this interesting young artist using her own name, I must also echo the honest, plainly-stated sentiments of the ORIGINAL Kate Wolf's son, Max Wolf, in his review of this album--don't make the same mistake I did."
Seattle-ite Kate Wolf is an amazing talent!

"Jazzy, funky, pop-y, big band-y...Kate's album has got it all. And she's got a million dollar smile to boot! I'll be honest and gush about the fact that Secrets Aside is my favorite song on the album. I am in love with Kate's voice and the fact that she plays a great guitar doesn't hurt either. YOU GO KATE! Play your music from coast to coast...the nation needs to hear it!"
