Thank you, that's a song that was written by a fellow named Randall Bramblett, who lives in Athens, Georgia.

And just a lucky series of events that happened that I could hear that song and record it on one of my previous albums.

And my car needed a brake job.

And so my friend Nick and our friend John, they took off the rotor, and the disc, and these things and they were taking them off the car to fix the brakes, and I was holding that disc, the round thing, and Nick took a picture of it.

and he says, you know, this would make a great album cover.

And I said, all right, so we need to write a song about a brake job.

So this is what came up out of that.

Of course, it doesn't have much to do with the brake job, but here we go.

("Brake Job") ♪ Calm down and cool your jets ♪ Nothing you do is going to get you there yet ♪ ♪ Squealing metal but I'm in control ♪ ♪ Steaming to whatever's down the road ♪ ♪ Debt, mortgage, interest rates ♪ ♪ Overdrive, expiration past the date ♪ ♪ Hanging on but that's no tale ♪ ♪ Keeping my behind outta jail ("Brake Job" continues) ♪ Brake job ♪ We beg for fun, holiday on tax ♪ ♪ Will it make a difference, get my car off the mat ♪ ♪ Folk tale boogie, no way to live ♪ ♪ Get me a brake job before they give ♪ ♪ I said a lesson in line, you truly feel ♪ ♪ You got the deal with it, squeaky wheel ♪ ("Brake Job" continues) ♪ Brake job ♪ Brake job ♪ Dizzy circles, and drinks and ice ♪ ♪ Fast cars and rolling dice ♪ I am, he will ("Brake Job" continues) ♪ I pine and I fall ♪ Taxed at the wheel ♪ Where do we go from what went wrong ♪ ("Brake Job" continues) ♪ I find a patch of sunlight where I can slow the pace ♪ ♪ And get the rotors and the pads replaced ♪ ♪ I'm going to take a deep breath and warm my bones ♪ ♪ And give me a brake job and bring it home ♪ ♪ Oh, brake job ♪ Oh, brake job ♪ Brake job, where did we go wrong ♪ ♪ What went wrong ♪ What went wrong ♪ What went wrong ♪ Brake job (audience applauding) - Thank you, thank you.

So I made a few records back in the '70s and then I had my two greatest hits, namely my two daughters.

And I was appearing nightly in my kitchen for some time there.

Then, the recording gear got smaller and the kids got bigger.

So we had the opportunity to go and make a new record.

So, we, I've completely forgotten what I was talking about.

Okay, so we started a new record, which we recorded a lot of near Woodstock, New York.

I was listening to a wonderful singer by the name of Erica Wheeler and she sang this song and I said geez, I'd love to learn this song and record it.

And she said by all means.

And it ended up being the title track of that record.

It's called "Beautiful Road."

(guitars strumming) Is my volume up on the guitar?

I don't know, can you hear it?

Can y'all hear my guitar?

It's in there somewhere ("Beautiful Road") ♪ Traveling down the highway ♪ My fingertips are to the wheel ♪ ♪ Every landscape mirrors how I feel ♪ ♪ I got wide open valleys and high walls of stone ♪ ♪ I'll always be a traveler on this beautiful road ♪ ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ The wind whistles through my window endless as time ♪ ♪ The wheels turn and spin like the thoughts on my mind ♪ ♪ Thinking about the places and everyone I've known ♪ ♪ All the closeness and the distance of this beautiful road ♪ ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ And I remember every phone booth ♪ ♪ And what we talked about ♪ Like points on a map marking promises and doubt ♪ ♪ I call when I got lonely ♪ Your voice was like a home ♪ Somewhere down the distance of this beautiful road ♪ ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ Out in the Midwest, I stopped asking why ♪ ♪ I just let the landscape echo what I was feeling inside ♪ ♪ I heard music everywhere ♪ Some quarter notes fly as black birds took off ♪ ♪ To the blue summer sky ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ When I reached California, I stood with open eyes ♪ ♪ High above the sea on a golden hillside ♪ ♪ And I could drive no further, it's as if it'd always known ♪ ♪ That I was the destination of this beautiful road ♪ ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ Traveling down the highway ♪ My fingertips are to the wheel ♪ ♪ Every landscape mirrors how I feel ♪ ♪ I got wide open valleys and high walls of stone ♪ ♪ I'll always be a traveler on this beautiful road ♪ ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ Beautiful road ♪ Beautiful road ♪ Beautiful road ("Beautiful Road" continues) ♪ Ooh (audience applauding) - Thank you.

So as George had mentioned, I made a new record with my friend Peter Asher producing.

And he had produced my first record, which is "Sister Kate."

And then he produced a lot of records for a lot of wonderful artists, including my brother James, who I recommend you go and hear if he's coming to a town near you.

Anyway, so Peter had produced this next song with James.

It's a song that James wrote.

And then he, he wanted to produce it again with another singer.

And so he asked me if I wanted to do it, and I said, by all means.

And it's called "I Will Follow."

("I Will Follow") ♪ Yonder mountain, so high ♪ I can't make it all on my own ♪ ♪ Rolling river, why so wide ♪ To sweep me up and to bear me on ♪ ♪ Up against the sky so bright ♪ That I can't even close my eyes ♪ ♪ I know I will follow, follow love ♪ ♪ I know I've got to go, follow love ♪ ♪ Yes, yes, I will follow, follow love ♪ ♪ Follow love ♪ Growing slowly like a tree ♪ Someday soon, darling, I love you.

I love you ♪ ♪ And soft and gentle full summer moon ♪ ♪ To set my soul free, thank you, baby ♪ ♪ And drifting like a cloud in the sky ♪ ♪ I can see myself from high above ♪ ♪ I know I will follow, follow love ♪ ♪ Even if I am called from home, follow love ♪ ♪ Yes, yes, I will follow, follow love ♪ ♪ Follow love ♪ Oh, half the future and half the past ♪ ♪ They're waiting inside those eyes ♪ ♪ And after all this to last and last ♪ ♪ 'Til at last its our chance to rise ♪ ♪ Rise, true believer that I am ♪ ♪ I am blind, lead me on ♪ Blessed receiver of your love ♪ ♪ I own my own time ♪ And I've been holding on ♪ Leave the word unspoken ♪ And the spell will not be broken ♪ ♪ And know I will follow, follow love ♪ ♪ I know I'm gonna go, follow love ♪ ♪ Yes, yes, I will follow, follow love ♪ ♪ I will follow love, I will fall in love ♪ ♪ Somebody gonna hold my hand, folLow love ♪ ♪ Somebody gonna lead me home, follow love ♪ ♪ Somebody's gonna take me there ♪ ♪ Hey everybody, follow love, follow love ♪ ("I Will Follow" continues) - I had the great good fortune to work with Peter Asher back in 1971 when we released a record called "Sister Kate."

And then I made a few other albums over time.

But I watched Peter make these amazing, iconic records with all these fabulous musicians and worked with James and I thought, someday I'm gonna get to work with Peter again.

And then, sure enough, the pandemic happened.

And well, of course Peter and I had sort of, our orbits had kind of merged again and we were doing some shows together and realized that it was the 50th anniversary coming up of "Sister Kate."

So we thought, let's make a new record.

We did and the pandemic was such that all of the musicians that had played on my original, the "Sister Kate" record, were sidelined in LA.

So Russ Kunkel, Lee Sklar, Waddy Wachtel, although Waddy didn't play on "Sister Kate," but Danny Kortchmar, they all came in and we made this new record.

I had a song that I'd written called "Why Wait" and it seemed appropriate for the album title.

Growing up in Chapel Hill, there was a wonderful music program in the school, but we had, our brother Alex was the oldest in the family and he was a wonderful blues singer and also kind of the inspiration to bring us all together.

He and James had a band in high school.

There was, as Libby calls it, the great folk scare of the early '60s and we were entwined in that.

It was just a lot of music and we were drawn to the music because it's the way that we communicated with each other as a generation.

The infrastructure was there, so we were all listening to the same stuff.

I wonder if I have time to tell this whole story about this next song, which was on my first record and it was the first single off the record.

And I was in Los Angeles, oh God, there's so much of the story to tell, while we were recording the record, I got a chance to hear Elton John play his first show in America and it was at the Troubadour and he blew the roof off the place.

As much as I loved being in Los Angeles around all these amazing people who were just starting these incredible careers, I was homesick also for New England and home base.

And when I heard Elton John sing this particular song, I said to Peter, geez, I'd love to record that.

And he said I know their manager, I know Elton's manager, why don't we invite them over and you can ask Elton John if you can record the song.

So we did, so he did, they did, I did, he did, and I put the song on the record.

Then the record was done, the single was out and I was putting a band together in Los Angeles and my father came out to see how things were going.

We were driving around on the freeway, and he said to me, "Kate, what would you like "to see happen with this career that you're embarking upon?"

And I said, "Well, Dad, after having grown up "with four brothers, what I'd like is "when I start singing in the car and somebody leans over "and turns on the radio that it be me on the radio."

And he leaned over and turned on the radio and it was me on the radio and I was singing this song.

("Country Comfort") ♪ Soon the pines will be falling everywhere ♪ ♪ And village children fight each other for their share ♪ ♪ The 609 is roaring down the creek ♪ ♪ And Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week ♪ ♪ I saw Grandma yesterday down at the store ♪ ♪ Well, she's really looking fine for 84 ♪ ♪ She asked me if sometime we'd fix her barn ♪ ♪ I guess that girl she needs a hand down on the farm ♪ ♪ And that's good old country comfort in my bones ♪ ♪ It's just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known ♪ ♪ It's just an old fashioned feeling fully grown ♪ ♪ Country comfort, a truck is heading home ♪ ♪ Down at the mill yard, they've got a new machine ♪ ♪ The foreman says it cuts man power by 15 ♪ ♪ Hey, but that ain't natural, so old Clay would say ♪ ♪ You see, he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day ♪ ♪ And that's good old country comfort in my bones ♪ ♪ It's just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known ♪ ♪ It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully grown ♪ ♪ Country comfort and a truck is heading home ♪ ("Country Comfort" continues) ("Country Comfort" continues) ♪ The old fat goose is flying across the sticks ♪ ♪ The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks ♪ ♪ And the rocking chairs are creaking on the porch ♪ ♪ Across the valley moves the herdsman with his torch ♪ ♪ And that's good old country comfort in my bones ♪ ♪ It's just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known ♪ ♪ It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully grown ♪ ♪ Country comfort, a truck is heading home ♪ ♪ Country comfort and a truck is falling down my road ♪ ♪ Country comfort and a truck is heading ♪ ♪ A truck is heading home (audience applauding) - So a friend of mine, Rebecca Correia, invited me and my nephew Isaac Taylor and Phil, our friend Phil De Rosa, down to Leipers Fork, just outside of Nashville.

And to do a show kind of in the round, songwriter in the round show, at it was called Pucketts then, it's called Fox and Lock now.

So we went down there and did that.

Then COVID hit and Rebecca did get a chance to come up north and visit on the Vineyard and we were chatting on the porch.

And she said, we started talking, we said, geez, we should write a song, we're getting kinda deep here, let's start a tune.

So we started the song and then the next year in the summer when she came up, we finished the song.

What we'd been talking about was how you take, you take the older generation, you take the wisdom and things that they pass on and you take those in and then you pass them on to the younger generation.

And then they do what they will with what they get passed.

It's called "Love Is Contagious."

("Love Is Contagious") ♪ Don't be shy, be courageous ♪ Your feet on the ground and on the stages ♪ ♪ There's no limit to the sky ♪ Here's why, love is contagious ♪ ♪ Mama told me in her final days ♪ ♪ It all goes by so fast ♪ And if you stand up to injustice ♪ ♪ Injustice doesn't stand a chance ♪ ♪ We took the wisdom from her time ♪ ♪ And wove it into our own rhyme ♪ ♪ Powered by what they'd begun ♪ The path is lit by the rising sun ♪ ♪ Don't be shy, be courageous ♪ Your feet on the ground and on the stages ♪ ♪ There's no limit to the sky ♪ Here's why, love is contagious ♪ ♪ Some doors are wide open some doors are still shut ♪ ♪ Full-hearted in these moments and we're never giving up ♪ ♪ To see the young ones come along ♪ ♪ With their shiny, righteous song ♪ ♪ They're taking it to the streets ♪ ♪ This darkness can be beat ♪ Don't be shy, be courageous ♪ Your feet on the ground and on the stages ♪ ♪ There's no limit to the sky ♪ Here's why, love is contagious ♪ ♪ And when our healing is done ♪ And the new world has begun ♪ what do you see ♪ What do you dream for you and for me ♪ ♪ And for all humanity ♪ Don't be shy, be courageous ♪ Your feet on the ground and on the stages ♪ ♪ There's no limit to the sky ♪ Here's why, love is contagious ♪ ♪ Shine, feet on the ground and on the stages ♪ ♪ There's no limit to the sky ♪ Here's why, love is contagious ♪ ♪ Shine, be courageous ♪ Your feet on the ground and on the stages ♪ ♪ There's no limit to the sky ♪ Here's why, love is contagious ♪ ♪ Love is, love is contagious ♪ Love is - You know what, you just gotta give it a try.

You won't be sorry.

♪ Love is contagious (guitar strumming) (Kate humming) - Oh, I just want to tell you a little bit about this song.

Over in Great Barrington, they've got a place called the Guthrie Center, and they asked us to come and play there.

And they asked if this particular summer, if anybody who was gonna be coming, would they want to consider writing a song about Woody Guthrie because it was the 100th anniversary of Woody's birth.

So I took up the challenge and this is what came out.

("Woody Guthrie Song") ♪ He was a thin man with his guitar on a string ♪ ♪ Just think of the songs he got outta that thing ♪ ♪ You sing of hope, bows, and workers ♪ ♪ Train rails and rust ♪ And the land, and the nation, and justice, and dust ♪ ♪ And if songs were diamonds, he had a hat full ♪ ♪ if stars were the best of them, he had a sky full ♪ ♪ If man is not perfect, he was a man ♪ ♪ If a singer tells the truth.

♪ He sang ♪ There were people who flocked and people who feared him ♪ ♪ And people who mocked and people who cheered him ♪ ♪ What he said then still speaks to today ♪ ♪ How far have we come since he walked this way ♪ ♪ And if songs were diamonds, he had a hat full ♪ ♪ If stars were the best of them, he had a sky full ♪ ♪ If man is not perfect, he was a man ♪ ♪ If a singer tells the truth ♪ He sang ♪ We take this moment to proclaim ♪ ♪ Woody Guthrie the people's poet ♪ ♪ That's his name ♪ And if you can measure a man by the truth that he tells ♪ ♪ And where that truth rings and where that truth dwells ♪ ♪ This man was a giant, you can feel his reach ♪ ♪ In the songs our children sing ♪ ♪ This man was a giant, you can feel his reach ♪ ♪ In the songs we the people sing ♪ ♪ In the songs we the people sing ♪ ♪ In the songs ♪ We the people ♪ Sing (audience applauding) - Thank you Realize that a lot of the songs that I write or that come through have to do with the landscape where I live and the community that I live in.

Growing up in Chapel Hill, there were a lot of different musical influences, very fertile ground and rich territory musically.

And we were just, as a family, we were drawn to it.

And I just appreciate any chances to get to sing it.

There's some songs on there, like Peter brought kind of our R&B version of "Good Day Sunshine" to the table.

And then, I had the great honor of singing with Tommy James on "Crystal Blue Persuasion."

So we recorded that on the record, and then I'd heard Fontella Bass sing a Nancy Wilson tune, "How Glad I Am," and that's on the record.

And added James's tune, a Staple Singers song, so it's kind of a mix, crazy mix.

So my brothers, they have written songs about are coming up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

And I thought, their songs are fine and dandy and very good, but it was time for the sister's perspective.

And so, so I put together this and our friend Billy Derby put it to music.

("Sun Did Shine (On Carolina)") ♪ We are the Chapel Hill-billies ♪ ♪ A mixture of grace and blues ("Sun Did Shine (On Carolina)" continues) ♪ One was built like a barrel with a face like the sun ♪ ♪ Good god, his voice was a glorious one ♪ ♪ But his blues were as deep as the sea's sea ♪ ♪ He tried to lighten it up, but it wasn't to be ♪ ♪ And one is built like a reed that the wind blows through ♪ ♪ With a heart like a harp and he sees deep in you ♪ ♪ And with his ears on the music out in the spheres ♪ ♪ Your soul's in his hands and his vision is clear ♪ ♪ And the sun did shine on Carolina ♪ ♪ I knew you there and there's no place finer ♪ ♪ The air is yellow-green when the spring is high ♪ ♪ The seventh largest sundial touches the sky ♪ ♪ In Carolina, mm ♪ Carolina, mm ♪ One whirs like a hummingbird, rings like a bell ♪ ♪ And he can fly a plane, he can dig a well ♪ ♪ And his words like the preacher strike their mark ♪ ♪ And he'll make you laugh with his mighty spark ♪ ♪ The youngest is cool, like a shady day ♪ ♪ The wind and a hammer and a song he'll play ♪ ♪ And if he gives you a sight of his light inside ♪ ♪ Well, it'll keep you glowing even when he hides ♪ ♪ And the sun did shine on Carolina ♪ ♪ I knew you there and there's no place finer ♪ ♪ The moonlight at night was good for creeping ♪ ♪ While everyone else in the town sleeping ♪ ♪ In Carolina, yeah ♪ Carolina ♪ Now they have a sister and her name is mine ♪ ♪ In the middle of this family from Carolina ♪ ♪ And I'll play and I'll sing this song ♪ ♪ I wanna go back, will you come along ♪ ♪ And the Sun did Shine on Carolina ♪ ♪ I knew you there and there's no place finer ♪ ♪ And at Union Grove and by the fire ♪ ♪ And around the table of family choir ♪ ♪ Carolina, yeah ♪ Carolina, mm ("Sun Did Shine (On Carolina)" continues) ♪ We are the Chapel Hill-billies ♪ ♪ A mixture of grace and blues ♪ Money honey, gospel, country ♪ We've got songs for you (audience applauding) - Well, I was sitting around with my friends and we have a little meditation group.

It's like a book club, how after you've been so many years, you've been together as a book club, you don't need to read a book anymore.

It's just about the socializing.

Well, we have sort of a meditation group and I think we just do kind of a walk and talk and meditation.

One day when we were talking about something that occurred to me that why wait for heaven.

People say it's up, but compared to what?

So I was thinking if we were gonna imagine what heaven would be, well, I can imagine that it would be sort of like this moment right here, right now with you all and in this wonderful studio at WVIA.

Anyway, so I wrote this song, it's called "Why Wait."

("Why Wait") ♪ It's a train ♪ A slow-moving train ♪ Sometimes it's at a standstill ♪ ♪ Sometimes steaming a track ♪ Well, it may be slow, but it won't be turning back ♪ ♪ It's a train ♪ A slow-moving train ("Why Wait" continues) ♪ We're together, you and me ♪ There's a party going on, Lord, it's 3:33 ♪ ♪ This feels like heaven ♪ This feels like heaven to me ♪ Kids racing high on bales of hay ♪ ♪ It's a harvest celebration, it's a happy day ♪ ♪ This feels like heaven ♪ This feels like heaven to me ♪ Why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait for heaven ♪ Why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait, why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait for heaven, why wait ♪ ("Why Wait" continues) ♪ Found true love, the real thing ♪ ♪ Singing songs on a park swing ♪ ♪ This feels like heaven ♪ This feels like heaven to me ♪ Hey, why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait for heaven, why wait ♪ ♪ Why wait ♪ Why wait, why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait for heaven, why wait ♪ ♪ People talking about heaven ♪ And they said something ♪ That makes me wanna ask 'em ♪ Up compared to what ♪ Why wait ("Why Wait" continues) ♪ What if the word was not a word ♪ ♪ But a song on a hum ♪ Hey, Red State Sister, you and me are one ♪ ♪ We're a train on the track, y'all ♪ ♪ And we won't be turning back ♪ No need to talk about what will be ♪ ♪ Well, let's talk about what is and what we choose to see ♪ ♪ This feels like heaven ♪ This feels like heaven to me ♪ Why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait for heaven, why wait ♪ ♪ Why wait, oh ♪ Why wait, why wait, why wait ♪ Why wait for heaven, why ♪ This feels like heaven ♪ This feels like heaven to me (audience applauding) - Thank you all.

Thank you so much.

Now, it's been a pleasure and a real treat to be here and to meet everybody at WVIA and what a great station.

You folks around here are so lucky to have this station in your neighborhood.

And got one more song.

I wanna sing a song that my brother wrote.

I had the great honor and privilege of being the first person to record it.

He, James was on the road filming a movie, "Two-Lane Blacktop," and he was in Little Rock, Arkansas.

And he sent me a cassette tape of the tune with the lyrics and we put it on that "Sister Kate" record.
