Kathi
McDonald's soulful, passionate vocals combined with her legendary phrasing,
impeccable timing and intonation have been an integral part of dozens of
hit records since the 1970s. From her three-year stint as an Ikette with
the Ike and Tina Turner Revue and her tenure with Big Brother & the
Holding Company to the Muscle Shoals recordings of Leon Russell, the Rolling
Stone's Exile on Main Street, and her recent years with Long John Baldry,
Kathi has been part of music history. Now living in Seattle, Kathi's newly
released album, Above and Beyond (Merrimack), reflects the breadth
and depth of her musical experience. Moving with ease and confidence through
blues, soul, gospel, and country, Kathi brings the past into a vivid, emotion-packed
present. Joining Kathi on piano is British art-rock and blues legend, Brian
Auger. Best known in this country for his band Trinity, which featured
vocalist Julie Driscoll, Brian has been a leading keyboard innovator for
more than three decades. Also on hand are Brian's son Karma, on drums and
Rich Dangel on guitar.
