A series of Kathy’s compositions (plus a few covers), like Matters Of the Heart, in an Americana setting with similar stylistic influences: jazz, rock, folk, country — and bluegrass.
“Kathy Kallick has a natural, non-pretentious quality that goes a long way in acoustic music circles, and this approach holds true for Reason and Rhyme. Unlike a number of artists who attempt to impress listeners with their honest qualities, Kallick just gets down to business, offering off-the-cuff versions of a big handful of original folk songs. There’s a slight country quality to Kallick’s vocals, but what really puts the lyrics across is the emotion she instills into them. It doesn’t hurt that the production is so clean, highlighted by full, though uncluttered, arrangements.”
— Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., AllMusic
“Throughout, the musicianship on the album had been top drawer, but on ‘What A Night.’ we suddenly struck gold. Previously the two guitarists had shared the duties; Scott Nygaard would dazzle on one track, then put his guitar down and let Nina Gerber pick up hers. She would then match him in excellence. And so they went on. But on track 14, they came together, and my goodness, what a moment of musical epiphany! The way the two guitars weave their way around one another, yet always have as first priority the need to support and help project Kallick’s vocal delivery, well it is nothing short of sublime.”

Kathy Kallick: lead vocals on all tracks, guitar on all tracks, except The Tailor & the Mouse and Web of Birdsong.
All songs: Traditional, arranged by Kathy Kallick, except as noted.
A collection of songs Kathy learned from her Mom. Dodi Kallick was a prominent Chicago-area folk singer from the mid-1950s through the ’70s. She was a driving force in establishing the coffeehouse scene there, and she performed, taught, and hosted music parties for other enthusiasts. In addition, Dodi collected a number of great songs in a variety of ways, and passed them on to other members of the Chicago folk music community—as well as to her daughter, Kathy. Many of these songs have become traditional music standards, but are sometimes overlooked because they seem too familiar. What Kathy found out was that other musicians also had learned these songs from family members and early mentors, and were delighted to rediscover them during the recording process. All the songs (other than two with the Kathy Kallick Band) were recorded with less than a full band, which, according to Kathy, “allowed each treatment to be hugely flavored by the great players and singers” and “seemed to bring the sound of the songs closer to the setting in which I first heard them: informally and comfortably in an intimate space.”

“Kathy is a great songwriter with a real knack for coming up with creative and memorable melodies tied to thoughtful and original lyrics. Her songs can break your heart or mend it, sometimes in the same tune.”
— Bluegrass Now
“Kallick pays her deepest respects to the roots of bluegrass music. She just dresses it up a little, adding a few offbeat twists and turns along the way. If you’re looking for another Alison Krauss, try some early Rhonda Vincent. If you’re interested in a unique vocal stylist who writes great songs and picks a pretty mean guitar, give this a listen.”

“Americana” before the term had been invented, encompassing Latin rhythms, jazz voicings, flat-out rock ‘n’ roll, and contemporary pop-folk arrangements, as well as more familiar acoustic country settings.
“A skillful songwriter with a knack for catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics, Kallick’s strong, earthy voice lends a celebratory as well as longing quality to ‘Radio,’ while the ballads like ‘Save Everything’ and ‘Wish Me Well’ combine resilience and sadness.”
— Sing Out!
“Kallick has always been a compelling songwriter, but this song cycle about relationships finds her digging deep into the psyches of her subjects to expose the highs, lows, and persistent ambiguities of romance. Her emotive vocals reflect a new maturity and confidence, and this collection of moving songs represents a major artistic step forward for Kathy Kallick.”
