Originally an independent artist,
Jacobs recorded The Calm Comes After, which was picked up by Bar None Records with three new cuts. The charm of this album is in
Jacobs's friendly, almost naive, delivery. Her lyrics have a deeply knowing womanly innocence that really says she sees more than she says and acts on it. Think of this artist as a less-religious urban
Iris Dement.
Kate is supported by a sparse country-sounding band.
