A Kathy Mattea favorite from 1992

Kathy and her band, Monster Truck Pull, headed the Sunday afternoon concert in 1992. Her first Philly Folk Fest. She was transitioning from a truck-song-singing country queen to something much more thoughtful, and the "Lonesome Standard Time" album is still my favorite.



Scottish balladeer Dougie MacLean opened that show. I think that was his first time at the festival also.The connection was that Kathy sang his "Ready for the Storm" on her "Time Passes By" album.
