On this West Virginia Morning, most outdoor sporting gear gets thrown away when it wears out. But in western North Carolina, one climber-turned-crafter is giving old equipment a new purpose.
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.
