Kate Maki - Musical Review

[ad]Kate Maki is a new artist for me with a great album called On High. Her music speaks for itself over on Kate’s MySpace page where you can listen to everything I mention this morning. The offerings from On High that I have heard so far blow me away with a full range of style and a lot of class. I can’t wait to find a copy for myself. I may well get this gem on vinyl as well as download it. Zoom on over to her MySpace page and give the music a listen.

Blue Morning gives me that old time country feel to the guitars and percussion. Her voice with its twang gives me a definite Patsy Cline vibe. She continues her stylistic tour with Highway, where I get the late sixties folk rocker feel from the songs simplicity in both vocal and musical arrangements. The tour moves more modern and jazzy with the opening piano White Noise. I could almost hear this song coming out of the mouth of Norah Jones. Don’t fills me with a Lou Reed song, if the background singers were the ones in charge of making the music. Ode pulls me back to the sixties and I can picture her in white go-go boots. The final online offering is Forever Blue is from Kate’s 2004 release The Sun Will Find Us. With a decidedly harder rock sound, Kate blasts me away with a song that would be right at home coming out of the mouth of Tom Petty or Neil Young, or better yet, the Traveling Wilburys wouldn’t be remiss in asking her to join.

Despite the comparisons I have made Kate is truly an original with a long successful career ahead of her. I love what I have heard so far and can’t wait to hear more.
