In 2001 comes the debut solo release from a West Coast guitarist/ producer whose musical presence has been felt for decades -- in fact, she's been in the Ladyslipper pages for decades, since the 70's when we brought our readers the early works by Kate Wolf -- they were steadfast musical companions. On this half-instrumental, half-vocal album, Nina collaborates with colleagues like Lucy Kaplansky, Vicki Randle, Terry Garthwaite, Rhiannon and Linda Tillery in the acappella ensemble Da We Be's, Greg Brown, Jami Sieber, Barbara Higbie and others. Known as a musician's musician, she now shines in the spotlight.
