The Kennedys/Red Molly: November 1, 2007

I've enjoyed many sessions with both The Kennedys (long-time friends of FUV) and Red Molly (the trio formed at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in 2004), but have special fondness for this 2007 session when Pete and Maura Kennedy joined Abbie Gardner, Laurie McAllister, and Carolann Solebello in the studio, just as Red Molly was gaining popularity. They did some songs separately and then joined forces for an awesome jam on "Matty Groves."

From opera to folk to jazz, Susan Werner has covered a lot of musical ground in her career, and her latest album 'The Gospel Truth' moves in yet another direction. She calls the new songs 'hymns for the spiritually ambivalent' and visited WFUV to explain further, in an interview with John Platt.

Singer-songwriter, gospel, and jazz are only a few genres explored by Susan Werner, and now she adds two more to the list with her new album 'Classics.' It's pop songs merged with classical pieces and sung by Susan's versatile voice, and she also used that voice to talk with 'FUV's John Platt about some of the inspiration behind the project.
