With five critically acclaimed albums under her belt, New York City singer-songwriter Lucy Kaplansky's singular voice has brought her a long way. Her brand new CD Over the Hills (released on Red House Records March 13 2007) is her most personal recording to date, with a stunning range of material, from stories about family, those that have gone before and follow after, of lives lived and roads traveled. Lucy’s own songs are complemented by a compelling collection of classic songs by other writers (Loudon Wainwright, June Carter Cash, Bryan Ferry, Ian Tyson, and Julie Miller), performed with Lucy's distinctive interpretive sensibility. Over the Hills is Lucy's story and her reflection upon her times.
Her sumptuous voice projects from a foundation of solid roots-rock with a tasty tinge of twang. Hear why The New Yorker has called her a "truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs" as Lucy returns to perform at The Cedar.
