Candye Kane "Sister Vagabond"

With her urgent and direct phrasing, Kane has been a striking singer since the 1980’s, evidenced by a dozen albums. On her latest, she continues with her tough, tell-it-like-it-is manner as several original songs land roundhouse punches square on the jaw of ex-lovers. Above all, Kane is a humane, caring person who has weathered lots of adversity; “I Deserve Love” is the enduring track here. Her protégée, guitarist Laura Chavez, continues to make good progress.
