Treasures Left Behind: Remembering Kate Wolf
Kate Wolf's songs still ring true years after her death. This loving  tribute contains 14 heartfelt covers culled from the repertoire of the  singer-songwriter, who died of leukemia in 1986. From Kathy Mattea's serene  opener, "Give Yourself to Love," to Terry Garthwaite's near-tears closer,  "Thinking About You," it's apparent that all involved in the project (from the  contributing artists to producer Nina Gerber, who collaborated with Wolf through  much of her career) hold Wolf in the highest esteem. Highlights here include  Dave Alvin's gruff "These Times We're Living In," Nanci Griffith's mournful  "Friend of Mine," and Rosalie Sorrels's sweet-as-an-angel version of "In China or  a Woman's Heart."--Alexandra Russell
