Susan Gibson @ The 2006 Woody Guthrie Festival

[rkorenek]

Susan Gibson is the writer of this Song.

Personally, I have more admiration for the creator of a song than the group who made it popular.

She wote a fantastic Song! God Bless her! Randy

Hi Susan,

I love your songs and the videos! I didn't know you wrote this one. Keep 'em coming!

[rdrcoop]

I've loved Susan from the first time I ever heard her. God bless her sweet soul!!!!!!!

[DaveZeman]

I give Ashlee Rose a big thank you for pointing me your way.

It's wonderful.... and Ash says it's not even your best song.

Karen Mal is the one I was looking for, I heard her on a cable music station and I wanted to know that she looked like.

She great and beautiful I don't see why she was not the lead singer on this group, she sings beautiful.

[larrylyon]

Yes, Karen is a truly talented woman who certainly does hold her own as a solo artist and is a dear freind of mine. But she also frequently contribtes her talent backing up other estabished artists, in this case Susan Gibson. Look on Wikipedia for more info about Karen. And if you go to her website, you can buy a 2007 "Nude Folk" calendar with her as Ms. January, but be forewarned: Jimmy LaFave is Mr. July. :)

[larrylyon]

PS: Karen does sing lead when she sings her own songs she has written. In this case, Susan Gibson is singing the song she wrote, "Wide Open Spaces", whic the Dixie Chicks recorded.

[dulsylady]

That's Karen Mal on mandolin. Recently saw her in a solo gig and she is great. Plays guitar, too. Go to one of her performances if you can.

[chogueme]

This video really captures Susan's in-concert spirit and enthusiasm. Good job!!!

[akh1982]

[larrylyon]

Read the notes section

[akh1982]
