From the 1980 Here In California Studio Performance. Accompanied by Nina Gerber and Rick Byars. www.katewolf.com Kate Wolf Music on Amazon:bit.ly/3q7PQS Copyright 1980 Viacom Cablevision
I grew up on a farm out in the country, no tv, no paved roads, just the woods and my mothers record collection. This was one of ger many records. This music is in my soul and helped raise me.
When I die, play this one for me please... My favorite to play on my own guitar and sing... Miss you Kate... You and your music are my favorite ❤ Nina keep on playing... Nobody plays guitar like this , you're the best... One of a kind... 🎶
She came thru Santa Cruz all the time for concerts for Native Americans. Loved her and will always love her music and commitment to our communities. Rest in Power.
The first time I heard Kate was on KVMR radio (Nevada City). Driving over the Altamont Pass in the golden hour just before sunset, I heard this beautiful voice singing about "the golden rollin' hills of California..." It was one of those almost surreal moments when what you are hearing and what you are seeing are in complete synchronicity. After the song, the announcer came on and said: "That was Kate Wolf, who died last night. Rest well, Kate." What a profound loss.
Me too, when I first heard her sing this song, I was completely blown away. Now every time I hear it, it reminds me of years past and driving around Marin County and the beautiful rolling hills. What a beautiful memory and God grant her peace. I heard she died of breast cancer, probably from the same thing that almost killed Cheryl Crow, don't leave your plastic water bottles in the sun, they will give off chemicals and those chemicals will kill you.
I am priviliged to have retired to France in the country. In the evening on our verhanda I can watch the sunset and the red tailed hogs and now I have discovered the beautiful voice and words from Kate only to learn she died so many years ago. RIP dear angel...I'm very old and I will listen to your voice until I join you
I moved back East from California in 1979. Driving to work one day I heard "Here in California." I had to pull over to the side of the road to listen and get my emotions under control. listening to hear who the artist was, they said, "The late great Kate Wolf." I've been a fan ever since.
Written by George Schroder, 1975. I don't know if he ever recorded it himself, but Kate Wolf and her friends performed it beautifully. I love the mandolin in this song.
This is the kind of music I can listen forever. Redtailed Hawk and Green Eyes are two of my favourites. Kate's voice is so relax and soothing and you can't hear this from today's so-called divas.
Add "Here in California", "These Times We're Livin' In", "Across the Great Divide"...people say that she should have been "bigger", but she's the perfect size for me to treasure. Always has been. (Kinda like Iris Dement and Richard Thompson. The kind of artists who remind you that there is beauty and good in this world and that you and some other people can tell it from the dross.)
This song gives me chills! I live at the base of the golden rolling East Bay, CA hills and this really hits home. Northern California native. Born and Raised.
Thank you for this. I had the honor of knowing her briefly in the 80's. A fellow-minstrel she'd known for many years in San Francisco was in a folk-duo with me in Sonoma (circa 83-84). I just wanted to thank you for making the halcyon days in West Marin, Sonoma, & Mendocino live again. I cry when I see her, but not for myself; it is for the less fortunate souls who didn't experience her magic in-person. Unselfish and STRONG. Brother Warrior, Eyes of a Painter. There WAS gold in California Kate
So cool how people are discovering Kate through this platform ! I was lucky to see her perform twice ( 82’/83’ ) and was so impressed ! She was the best of us, but humble at the same time - so rare to find.
I only discovered Kate about a month ago on You Tube. Her songs and her voice are just magical. So sad she died so young and why isn’t she better known!!!
We lost so many wonderful singer/songwriters too early cause of mental and physical deseases. I hope he called them home so early, to sing with the saints and angels. Always on my mind, Kate and all the others.
I was lucky enough to meet and work with Kate Wolf a couple of times in the early 80s in Berkeley. Even had she not sung a single note in her entire life, the world would still be a better place for her having been here.
@Marmot Songs. What a privilige you had. Your comment, almost moved me to tears, cause it's so true, that people like Kate Wolf shine such a positive light on humanity. I am so sorry, she is no longer among us.
I had the honor and pleasure to spend an evening with George Schroeder, who wrote this song and since to call him friend. What a beautiful song by Kate, Nina and friend. He sang and played it well, despite his years. Thanks George!
I love this era of folk music full of hope and the colour of the country and love of a life companion. Thank you Kate gave us a glimpse of a better world.
I had the blessed occasion at the San Francisco Folk Club of meeting Kate Wolf when I was about 9 or ten. This song I have had the honor of singing for over 30 years. Thank you Kate Wolf for inspiring me!
I'm so happy I've just discovered this wonderful voice and this singer of the past whose life on earth was unfortunately too short.But she will Always stay alive in her fans' souls. Now I'm just joining the crowd.
Beautiful music Kate, Nina and Rick. Kate Wolf deserves to be internationally as famous as Bob Dylan, The Beatles etc. Kate was, is, an amazing talent and l just love her sweet music.
I was in northern Africa with a Peacekeeping mission while in the army....when a friend sent me a cassette from an el paso, tx radio station...saying that show was in memory of Kate. I cried like a little girl at the loss. Never met her, but, loved who she was.
I have often wondered how a woman I have never met could capture the finest nuances of my feelings in her songs. If I didn't know better, I would swear she had been sitting in my home, observing my feelings on love, life, and happiness.
For those folks who are just discovering Kate Wolf, you might be interested in the Kate Wolf Festival each June (except for 2020) in Sebastopol, CA. Also KPFA Berkeley has some awesome Sunday shows including "Across The Great Divide", the show for which Kate Wolf wrote the theme/title song.
I just now knew about her. Yes very much a loss. My goodness I'm glad I know of her now, I was actually doing some hawk sounds to listen too. To feed a hawk coming round , fresh as I could from some defrosted pork over steamed water with a fork to tenderize. Hawks around here most of the time. But I'm very partial to My Crows. I hope they won't take offense. I don't know ya, but I pikt this reply/ comment platform to leave my condolences and my interest. Thank you hope that is OK. I'm not able to leave a comment on my own why idk. But I'm not letting that stand in my way. Maybe this special lady will recognize that today for me , she walks freely among the Hawks. And Wolves. Mode itbex3.
I havnt been to Cali since 1999 to visit a friend i met when i lived in San Diego from 1990-1993. I drove threw the entire state camping out in beautiful hills and ocean shores, i never even knew this gem was there. My days are very different now filled with loneliness and sadness. I want to go back for good to the place that made my heart stop beating so that i could truly here all that is golden. I just started listening to Kate who i never would have known if not for the Rainbow girls. Thank you for your beautiful gift. May all who are suffering have peace in there heart.
I've lived in NoCal since 1975 and love folk music of her style but never heard of her until last year through Pandora. Last June I went to her memorial concert in Laytonville and plan to attend again in 2011. I can't seem to get her tunes out of my head. But then I really don't want to.
I miss the Golden rolling hills of California Kate and Nina take me back Every time.. ..outstanding Greetings from Dublin Ireland brothers and sisters.....
One of the absolute best songs ever. A masterpiece. Have listened to the song hundreds of times but this is the 1st time I've seen it on youtube. In my top 5 songs of all time.
I listened to her early years...I was enthralled....she left this world far too soon....I listen to Kate Wolf any time I need a peaceful moment in my life...she is missed...
Hello, Jeff, I agree. At the 2:59 mark, Kate smiles after Nina Gerber's solo. I suggest it is the most brilliantly creative mando solo I've ever heard. Those are eighth note triplets she plays in the second mando solo at 3:58. My playing improved by watching her. She has also made an impact on my guitar playing. Her skills with melody and timing are stunning. Go, Nina, Go. Regards, George Armstrong
I was fortunate to catch her live when she accompanied Karla Bonoff here in Bellingham, WA in 2014. She was amazing. It didn't surprise me, as I'd been listening to her for decades as Kate Wolf's accompanists and always had liked her sound.
This - to me - is THE quintessential song about California - the song - that after leaving the state over 30 years ago - still brings me back to my roots. I was so fortunate to have been able to have seen it performed by these folks on more than one occasion...magic
I remember seeing Nina Gerber play the mandolin back in the 70's. She plays guitar now .... just as beautifully. Kate's voice and her mandolin are beautiful!
Kate's songwriting and concerts/recordings epitomized the rich, artistic and nature infused lifestyle and spirit of our beloved Northern California's soul. Rest in Peace my friend and colleague.
I am so sorry I'm late to the party...I have just discovered Kate....and she was/is incredible still. I also think she is comparable to another all time favorite of mine and that is Sandy Denny! Both are Angels. Dammit that they both are gone from this world. Tears..for both still!!!!
Thank you for such beauty and something that will make my Dad's soul rejoice. He loved singing and used to sing and dance in the street with my Mom. He was never allowed to sing anywhere because he was Native California Reservation Pomo. In fact, my parents could not marry at her church. I played and sang as a teen but huge throat and sinus surgery put an end to that dream. I love your music, it is so the feeling of a wild soul raised part of the year on the rez in the divorced kid doing the back and forth marathon between city and rez............I now live in "the golden hills" of California, where the poppies used to be.........we still have a few, but mostly just malls and a little desert in between.
@@unclebobunclebob Nina now tours with Karla Bonoff and delights the audience with her acoustic and electric guitar work. Karla is a wonderful songwriter and her voice is golden. Currently touring and more than worth making sure to catch a show.
I am so annoyed I have never heard of Kate Wolf before a few days ago when I heard a cover of one of her songs by Nanci Griffith. Thank God for RUclips or I would never have found her at all. Listening here in the UK, we are starved of this type of music
I hear you friend. I first heard of Kate Wolf from a folkie friend here in the NW US back in 1998 and that was 12 years after she had passed away. Prior to that I had never even heard her name, ever. I recognized then that she was a fine song writer, singer and musician. The question was why so few knew about her. My only guess is that she got started a little late in the folk music game, her first album was released in 1976 which was quite awhile after the folk music scene died down. She never had a hit song although she has many (lots and lots of) wonderful beautiful and finely crafted songs that are just marvelous. But I will tell anyone that will listen what a fine singer, songwriter and performer she was. We all need this kind of music. It is great for the mind and soul to listen to such songs and tunes.
I spent the 80's in Northern California, where she was a local sensation, a frequent guest on radio stations and at events. Loved her music, cried when we were told about her fatal illness. I always thought of her as the queen of "California Country,"
I am awe struck by the beauty of this music. The mandolin is achingly beautiful. Many ,many thanks to you, Kate, Wolf Woman. Howl with the full moon and run with the wind.
Nina Gerber playing the mandolin. I was fortunate to catch her live when she accompanied Karla Bonoff here in Bellingham, WA in 2014. She was amazing. It didn't surprise me, as I'd been listening to her for decades as Kate Wolf's accompanists and always had liked her sound.
@@rajsuss I went to Western for grad school and would have stayed in Bellingham if it weren't for my girlfriend and family in the Twin Cities. Living in Bellingham was like being on acid every single day.
It is me who is always listening to Kate Wolf’s wonderful voice and music ! And I am an old lady from Germany .
No love. I'm a 66 year old from England. Just came across her last week. We must "use our ears" whilst we still have them ! Great stuff, 2301.
No definitely not, I asked on Green eyes, lots of listeners loving her music.
@@blackbob3358 j'ai 68, j'ai découvert Kate il y a quelques semaines, je ne m'en lasse pas ... Elle est merveilleuse ..
Beautiful thank you to who posted on you tube i enjoy hearing since 2 years from cordillera phil.
I grew up on a farm out in the country, no tv, no paved roads, just the woods and my mothers record collection. This was one of ger many records. This music is in my soul and helped raise me.
Who else is listening in 2020? Such beautiful voice & music.
Her voice is a softer Joan Baez. I've only recently discovered her and regret not enjoying he music earlier in life.
Mellifluous springs to mind. 3/2021.
2021 April ☺
April 2021 - I never have been able to "get over" her passing. I come back again and again.
o Yes, Mai 2021, sooo much love in her lyrics
When I die, play this one for me please... My favorite to play on my own guitar and sing... Miss you Kate... You and your music are my favorite ❤ Nina keep on playing... Nobody plays guitar like this , you're the best... One of a kind... 🎶

How lucky were we all to get to experience Kate Wolf, Nina Gerber, and Nanci Griffith. Those girls made a big dent in music history.
And Judy Collins, Carole King Eva Cassidy ...
Is anyone here because this is outstanding?
Hell yes.
@@richardperkins5046 Good going Richard! Regards, George
No doubt
She was a lot about what is good with folk music. May she forever RIP.
This is totally awesome!
Listening in 2024 and I was even born legend ❤
We are a dying breed
She was at the Birchmere in Virginia, Mike Auldridge on dobro... TRANSPORTED us.

so perfect, my heart breaks, that she is gone, I just discovered her! Kate, this world is not good enough for you.
Kate's voice is like a peaceful, flowing river. Of which the calm water smooths the jagged rocks lying in the river bed
Wow, such a nice, poetical comment.
I didn't expect such a peaceful description coming from "Nuclear Explosion". The irony is excellent.
MISS KATE WOLF BEEN A BIG SISTER TO ME FOR SO LONG EVEN MY KIDS LOVE HER WAYS OF LIFE SIMPLE AND TRUE AND VERY LOVING
Written by George Schroder, 1975. I don't know if he ever recorded it himself, but Kate Wolf and her friends performed it beautifully. I love the mandolin in this song.
me too!

Thinking the same. Listened to her in the 90’s, back again. Timeless!
Ich auch

(Kinda like Iris Dement and Richard Thompson. The kind of artists who remind you that there is beauty and good in this world and that you and some other people can tell it from the dross.)
She was one of a kind, and is at the top of folk performers. How sad to think of world without her!
This song gives me chills! I live at the base of the golden rolling East Bay, CA hills and this really hits home. Northern California native. Born and Raised.
So nice to see her again. What great music she wrote & performed. And I'd forgotten what a great musician Nina Gerber was.
True talent in a beautiful soul. A yes the musical talent of Nina Gerber is also awesome 👏
I listen to this song over and over - it is really a masterpiece
I do so ! Old lady from Germany
Yes ,it is a masterpiece ! May Kate Wolf rest in peace !

Always on my mind, Kate and all the others.
I pity the 40 soulless people who downvoted this.
Browsing, due to Covid19, I came across videos of Kate Wolf. How much I've missed over the years not knowing her music. Eish! RIP Kate
I was lucky enough to meet and work with Kate Wolf a couple of times in the early 80s in Berkeley. Even had she not sung a single note in her entire life, the world would still be a better place for her having been here.
I saw her in1974 at the Freight and Salvage. It was years later that I realized just how much talent was just the next table over from me.

Beautiful singer, sadly left us far yo young.
You go Nina. So great. Such a hauntingly beautiful song.
I have all of kares albums , her voice is very awsome.she will never be forgotten.
RUclips allows us to find the beautiful treasures that we did not know existed.
That Mandolin is truly superb, almost Irish.
Nina Gerber is amazing. Catch her live if you get the chance.
Beautiful music Kate, Nina and Rick. Kate Wolf deserves to be internationally as famous as Bob Dylan, The Beatles etc. Kate was, is, an amazing talent and l just love her sweet music.

Today is the first time I’ve ever heard of her, and then I found out she has passed on.. Happy and Very Sad In the same time. Wow 😲
I stumbled across Kate's music on Y.T late last night on a windy night in the U.K. What a talented artist, lyricist & singer.
THE SAME just happened to me
The more i hear Kate Wolf, the more I love her songs and singing.

first she kills the harmonica, then calmly picks up the mandolin and smokes it! who the hell does that?👍❤

I also have just recently been exposed to her music. This is incredible stuff! I'm now a huge fan.
So sweet... It' dangerous to listen at night when you drive... A joke... Kate was a so nice artist... From France.

I am awe struck by the beauty of this music. The mandolin is achingly beautiful. Many ,many thanks to you, Kate, Wolf Woman. Howl with the full moon and run with the wind.
Nina Gerber playing the mandolin. I was fortunate to catch her live when she accompanied Karla Bonoff here in Bellingham, WA in 2014. She was amazing. It didn't surprise me, as I'd been listening to her for decades as Kate Wolf's accompanists and always had liked her sound.
@@rajsuss I went to Western for grad school and would have stayed in Bellingham if it weren't for my girlfriend and family in the Twin Cities. Living in Bellingham was like being on acid every single day.

This seems to me a beautifully sad tune. Greetings from Mexico. 20221220 (Tuesday).
Recién descubro este grupo y me gusta, principalmente la voz y estilo de Kate Wolf. 🙂🥰🤩
Kate Wolf, an exquisite blend of Princess, Artist and a very lofty Soul
Every time I roam CA I think of Kate Wolf’s song: golden rolling hills ....
this song is my heart. i was barely a year old, but i love love love kate's beautiful music.
I return to this video two, maybe three times a year. And every time, it stops me in my tracks.
About as close to perfect as it gets in this life.
Love it. I'll never loose my appreciation for quality folk music.
