In 2002, Kathy Kallick released My Mother’s Voice, an album of songs learned from her mum, Dodi Kallick, who was a folksinger and educator in Chicago’s thriving folk scene of the 1950s and ‘60s. Dodi helped found the Old Town School Of Folk Music and several iconic venues – and passed on the music to her daughter. She never recorded, but, as music producer and historian (and labor lawyer) Larry Ehrlich noted, “Dodi Kallick’s voice could be as tender as Carter Stanley, as plaintive as Piaf, or as cutting as a straight razor. It could bring sorrow to your heart or a smile to your lips; it all depended upon what Dodi wanted to do." The only thing that album lacked: performances by Dodi herself. However, a reel-to-reel tape was discovered in the WFMT Radio archives labeled "Dodi Kallick Midnight Special, 1966 and 1969,” and that’s inspired this 18-track sequel.
Claire Levine's feature article, "Kathy Kallick Honors Her Mother's Legacy While Establishing Her Own," published in The Bluegrass Situation on July 8, 2022 is HERE. It includes audio of "Put My Little Shoes Away," "Sittin' On Top of the World," "The Wild Side Of Life > It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels," and "Farther Along," as well as "I Can't Stand To Ramble" by the Good Ol' Persons.
