From the Artist I was out on the road watching an Indiana sunset one fall evening with my musical traveling companion, Michael Camp. It came to me that the music loved in the little towns, not often played by commercial mainstream radio, really did express much of what I love about America. So we did the unusual- we made it a collaboration of tunes. So here's a little slice of Americana right from the heart, to the heart. Two Lane America # 24 Gavin Charts - July 98 "Kate Wallace and Michael Camp have voices that go together like a soft cotton T-shirt and old blue jeans. And their songs are just as timeless" Neil Fagan, Performing Songwriter "Kate is a woman of conscience who sings with a vengeance" - the rev. lisa hunt, Nashville, TN "An exceptional artist" billboard magazine "Kate is a woman of strength with a great deal of integrity and her music reflects her conviction. She's also a babe." Henry Paul, artist / Blackhawk "I love Kate. I lover her music and I'll baby-sit her dog anytime". John Jennings, artist & producer / M. Chapin Carpenter "Wallace was once a Nashville based songwriter who didn't subscribe to the Music Row mentality of factory writing. She has a distinctive voice and style of writing that allows the songs to flow together seamlessly. Kate has a unique way of flipping into her head voice that's somewhere between a catch and a cry, and always affecting." Neil Fagan, Performing Songwriter "This is somebody you need to pay attention to. Her songs have wonderful melodic curves and her vocal is marvelously lustrous. Seek her out- trust me, she's a real winner." Robert K.
