12th nomination: TOM PAXTON: LIVE IN THE UK

BEST TRADITIONAL FOLK ALBUM (Field 14, Category 67, #4)

Cathy & Marcy are both producers and band on Tom Paxton's new CD, Tom Paxton: Live in the UK, which received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional Folk Album. The duo toured with Tom in the UK in 2003, and the concerts were recorded live to mini-disk. Two of the shows were edited down to one live CD - no overdubs, just the real thing. Paxton is a folk icon whose songs "Ramblin' Boy" and "The Last Thing On My Mind" have entered the realm of folk classics. His live performance is charming, filled with political humor and tender love songs, and enhanced by Tom's warm stage presence.
