In 2002, at age 38, late-bloomer Kathy Greenholdt wrote her first song. Her new album, LOWLY VIOLET, aims to pull you inside the mysteries of her — and your — daily existence, offering up secrets from a woman whose life is already half lived.

-- BBC Radio's Steve Lamacq featured "Summer's Through" in a listener call-in contest. Nice quote from Mr. Lamacq: "['Summer's Through'] is just a gorgeously understated piece of songwriting.... [WAKE-UP PRAYER] has been in the pile of must-listen-to-them-again CDs for ages.... I ended up playing it five times in a row, so apologies to the nextdoor neighbor."
