How refreshing when we don't all wait for someone to die before honoring them! Christine Lavin is many things: performer, comic, dedicated advocate for other folk musicians, and a great songwriter whose songs are distinguished by intelligently clever, socially conscious lyrics. To give just a little bit of her gift back, this compilation was actually recorded in secret by the contributing artists, and presented to Christine at her show at the Bottom Line in June 1997! On it, several of her (and our) favorite performers -- Cheryl Wheeler, Barbara Kessler, Susan Werner, Megon McDonough, Julie Gold, Dave Van Ronk and others -- perform classic Christine songs... plus Cheryl Wheeler's original Christine Lavin Could Do It."
