Originally released in 1971, Kathy Smith 2 was singer-songwriter Kathy Smith's most daring and accomplished creation, an innovative fusion of psychedelic folk and jazz.  

Smith emerged from the same Orange County, Californian milieu as Tim Buckley and Jackson Browne. Championed by singer- songwriter- guitarist Richie Havens, Kathy recorded two hauntingly beautiful albums, Some Songs I've Saved and Kathy Smith 2, for his Stormy Forest label, and then quietly disappeared from the scene. Kathy Smith 2, presented here, is the first authorised reissue of the LP.

Highlighted by Kathy's own exquisite compositions like 'Fly off with the Wind' and 'For Emile', it also includes her unique interpretations of songs by Jimmie Spheeris and Jackson Browne. This is the first official reissue - 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.  

Her superlative voice is supported by a team of heavyweight studio musicians, among them Jan Hammer, Warren Bernhardt, Tony Levin, Jerry Jemmott, Don Alias and Jeremy Steig.  

Remastered from the original analogue tapes, this edition includes two exceptional previously unreleased bonus tracks - 'For Emile' (demo version), and 'Hang On To A Dream'.
