About Kate Campbell
Jamae Kathryn Campbell (born October 31, 1961, in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American folk singer-songwriter. Kate's songwriting follows in the southern literary tradition with an emphasis on a sense of place, race, and religion. Her story-filled songs feature quirky characters and often deal with the region's complex issues. John Prine, Nanci Griffith, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark, Maura O'Connell, and Mac McAnally have provided guest vocals on her albums. She sometimes performs with Pierce Pettis and Tom Kimmel as the New Agrarians. When Compass declined to sell Campbell masters to the latter three albums, she re-recorded the majority of the material on The Portable Kate Campbell and Sing Me Out, both released in 2004.
