This week’s Mountain Stage was recorded at the iconic Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center in Huntington, West Virginia with our hosts the Marshall Artist Series. Host Kathy Mattea welcomed fellow Grammy-Award winner Catherine Russell, along with Irish music superstars The High Kings, folk music icon Tom Paxton, veteran songwriting greats The DonJuans, and emerging West Virginia roots group Kindred Valley.
Our Song of the Week comes from Catherine Russell who made her sixth Mountain Stage appearance. She comes from a rich bloodline of musically notable jazz musicians, which is reflected in her singing and ability to deliver jazz standards with irresistible bluesy smoothness. Russell has performed with David Bowie as part of his last touring band, and she’s been singing with Steely Dan since the mid-1990s. She recently released a new single, her version of Billy Eckstine’s “I Want To Talk About You,” to benefit The Jazz Foundation of America.
Listen to Russell’s performance of “Sticks and Stones,” which comes from her most recent album Send for Me, released in 2022.
Hear the entire live set from Catherine Russell, plus performances by The High Kings, Tom Paxton, The DonJuans, and Kindred Valley on this week’s episode of Mountain Stage with host Kathy Mattea.
Tune in starting Friday, May 5 on these public radio stations and be sure to keep an eye on our podcast page for the newest episodes from our Spring season. Sign up for email updates to help plan your trip to be a part of a live-show here in West Virginia or on the road.
Our Song of the Week comes from The Critton Hollow String Band, a band that has been performing traditional American music to audiences around the world since 1975. The trio stopped by Mountain Stage during their 50th anniversary and performed a handful of songs, including "A Better Life to Find," which is our Song of the Week. The song features an old melody and a traditional refrain, with lyrics updated by the group's Joe Herrmann.
