Tom Paxton November 3, 2007

Tom Paxton emerged from the same 1960s folk movement that produced artists such as Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Bob Dylan. His music, written with elegant and touching simplicity, carries messages of justice, hope and empowerment. The Associated Press calls the Kennedys, the husband and wife team of Pete and Maura Kennedy, "a delicious slice of jangly pop" with "yummy harmonies" and "killer hooks." The Kennedys have been charming audiences, record buyers and critics for the past decade with their exuberant mixture of folk, rock, country, pop and their own brand of secular gospel, a philosophical depth in their lyrics, and joyful, kinetic performances and recordings.
