THE SIMPLEST OF THINGS
Deborah Minter
KATE ROWE
Independent
Cross MISSY HIGGINS with SARA STORER and you’ll get KATE ROWE. Admittedly well steeped in folk, Kate’s music also has a good dose of country added. Her newly released album The Simplest Of Things is deceptively light and airy, full of thought provoking self-written tracks – effortless light-hearted themes with heartfelt provocative cores. Very pictorial, tracks like Family Outing (where a pirate takes his kids on a trip) and Catacombs (which must be heard to be appreciated fully) take you to the places and people Kate describes musically. Fred The Dog is wildly funny – I’m never going to get it out of my mind! (Think Schnappi - Das Kleine Krokodil – Hey Kate, where is the YouTube clip?) Don’t Kiss Me is extremely catchy. Jindabyne, recently awarded the BluFM89.1 Award for Outstanding Contribution to Country Music, is sweet and lovely. Kate Rowe is fresh and delightful – certainly a much needed shot in ‘country’s arm.’
