Having been in the business for almost thirty years, Kathy Mattea has been top of the country music game for some time. Bringing a laid-back sound to Stage 1 the artist and 'her band' - a sole guitarist - rounded up the crowd for a rendition of Kumbaya, which sounded just lovely. And seemed to draw the sun out from behind the white clouds it was hiding behind.
Her latest album, Coal, draws on her family's experiences in the coal mining industry and was nominated for a Grammy.
It should be pointed out that "Kumbaya" was in fact the drunkards' version for the chorus to "18 Wheels ......", though the two sets of lyrics did go well together!
