Sounds LikeKaye Johnston’s CD, UpClose and Personal, is that unexpected kiss on the cheek when you’ve done something brave. These solo and live tracks let you listen to the songs like looking at paintings in a gallery. If you take your time, each song will speak a thousand words to your heart. This music feels as good as a big hug. - David B. Hakan, Songwriters Circle of Kansas City Here's a review of Kaye first CD "Hard Time" that was released in June 2006! "Maybe you should play guitar That mandolin wont get you far. Learn some fancy vocal tricks Weve had enough of macho chicks." First Verse of 'Maybe You Should Play Guitar' Written by Kaye Johnston and John Mitchell 2006. Fortunately, Kaye Johnston listened to the above advice only long enough to turn it into a great song for this debut album-Hard Time. Her saucy lyrics and unique voice, coupled with the magic of the mandolin, bring a fresh approach to the music scene. Songs like "Love Abounds" and "Hard Time" create an infectious, bouncy song with plenty of attitude. In contrast, "The Point" and "Take Me Back" yield haunting, minor-key ballads ("Can you and I ever get to even ground?" Lyrics in "The Point"). Their smoky tones will stay in your head long after the songs are done. Every song on this CD vibrates with Kaye's original lyrics and gutsy delivery a pleasure to listen to again and again.

I hope all is well with you. Sounds like you are really busy. Been studying intensely so have not made it out to any shows recently, unfortunately.... All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the new year. Maybe we can get together after the holidays. Would love to see you.
