Description
Working on Wings to Fly (CD) – Cindy’s first album for Folk Legacy Records, reissued on Smithsonian-Folkways Records, has become a true folk classic. Voted one of the Top 100 Folk Albums of the Millenium by WUMB Boston. Back-up vocals by Ellen Epstein and Lisa Kallet.
Cindy Kallet 2 (CD) – Cindy’s second Folk Legacy recording, reissued on Smithsonian-Folkways Records. Backing vocals by Ellen Epstein, Michael Cicone, and Lisa Kallet. The AllMusic Guide recommends that you “start out with this release. The songwriting is a little more expressive, and she plays some fine instrumentals. The music is well crafted and the songs are from the heart.”
Dreaming Down a Quiet Line (CD) – 13 Kallet originals, plus a traditional song and a beauty by Joel Zoss. Guests of honor: Michael Cicone, Ellen Epstein, Lisa Kallet, and Gordon Bok. Described as “entirely beautiful” by Scott Alarik (Boston Globe) and as “that rarest of releases for a singer-songwriter: 15 gorgeously crafted songs…” (Rob Wier, Advocate Newspapers).
This Way Home (CD) – A musical collaboration featuring ten of Cindy Kallet’s originals and four other favorites. Cindy is joined by Will Brown, Gordon Bok, Ellen Epstein, Michael Cicone, and others. “Kallet, quite simply, casts a spell with her unpretentious, unproduced music. Her pleasant alto voice carries her unique songs through the intellect and straight to the heart. Kallet sounds like no other singer-songwriter on today’s scene.” (R Warren, Sing Out!)
Leave the Cake in the Mailbox (CD) – A collection of original “parenting” songs as well as a few traditional favorites. A true family musical portrait, including several contributions by various family and friends. “Ms. Kallet’s gentle tongue-in-cheek separates it from other (kids) albums…Leave the Cake In the Mailbox is recommended, promising to leave both you and your offspring humming and smiling in harmony and/or unison”. (Nikki Patton, Martha’s Vineyard Times). This album won a 2004 “Parents’ Choice Gold Award.”
