Cathy Hamer’s two deeply private LPs, recorded in 1979 and 1980 at Roanoke’s Threshold Recordings, slipped quietly from view at the tail end of the hippy era. Cut at the Virginia studio famed for its bluegrass pedigree, these eleven self-penned songs wander freely through folk, country and sun-bleached soft rock, tracing a gently cosmic strain of American songwriting.
Rooted in craft yet loose in spirit, the recordings capture Hamer in a fleeting chapter as a would-be canyon dreamer, poised between wide-eyed hope and hard reality. This remastered edition restores those lost sessions to full warmth, accompanied by archival notes and rare surviving photographs from her short-lived musical passage.
