"West Virginians are storytellers." singer-songwriter Kate Long told The Hampshire Review not long ago. "I can't remember a time when I wasn't telling stories, or listening to stories. I remember playing in the woods when I was very small, telling myself stories, making up stories, playing all the parts. I was the Indian princess going through the woods, climbing the rocks up to the big rock that looked like a frog. I was the pioneer girl looking out over the cliffs for any kind of danger.

"Stories have always been part of life for me," Kate adds. " Though I do public performances, I've always been a shy person, and this is one way I cope with that...I'm never bored. It give me another place where I can go, if I'm stuck in traffic or waiting in the doctor's office, or just plain uncomfortable somewhere. I have this other world that I can go into. I can think about the next line of a song or wonder what the character is going to do."

This latest CD contains some of Kate's best stories to date, including "McNamara's Tear,"which won the Best Ballad Award at the South Florida Folk Festival competition.
