Although I've enjoyed listening to and following Kathy Mattea's music the last time I saw her in concert was the early 1990s. I was pleased to find she hasn't lost her ability to connect with the audience and think her voice has only become stronger with time. It's obvious her latest CD (Coal) has songs with which she relates personally and that makes her delivery all the better. I'm a fan of stripped down, acoustic shows which this one was and really fit the songs, and showcased her voice and band. Overall a great concert in a great venue (Kimo) - If you like Kath Mattea you'll love this show.
