Kathy & Carol's blog

Recommended to Elektra producer Paul Rothchild by folk singer/ songwriter Mark Spoelstra - who recorded two albums for Elektra in the mid-60s - Rothchild regards Kathy & Carol among his favorite Elektra productions (alongside those he produced for Doors, Tom Rush and Joseph Spence).

In Paul Rothchild's words, Kathy & Carol “was the sound of not just one Joan Baez, but two;” she had been their initial inspiration. It’s rich in wonderfully angelic voices and exquisite harmonies.

Kathy Larisch and Carol McComb met at high school in Vista, California, Carol describing their approach as creating pictures in sound to unleash the emotion of each song. Carol later pursued a solo career and Kathy concentrated on painting but they left behind a quiet gem of an album. They have performed reunion gigs in recent years with Linda Ronstadt, one of their biggest fans, joining them on stage.
