about

A collection of songs Kathy learned from her Mom.

Dodi Kallick was a prominent Chicago-area folk singer from the mid-1950s through the ’70s. She was a driving force in establishing the coffeehouse scene there, and she performed, taught, and hosted music parties for other enthusiasts. In addition, Dodi collected a number of great songs in a variety of ways, and passed them on to other members of the Chicago folk music community—as well as to her daughter, Kathy.

Many of these songs have become traditional music standards, but are sometimes overlooked because they seem too familiar. What Kathy found out was that other musicians also had learned these songs from family members and early mentors, and were delighted to rediscover them during the recording process.

All the songs (other than two with the Kathy Kallick Band) were recorded with less than a full band, which, according to Kathy, “allowed each treatment to be hugely flavored by the great players and singers” and “seemed to bring the sound of the songs closer to the setting in which I first heard them: informally and comfortably in an intimate space.”

A second collection of songs Kathy learned from her mother, along with performances by Dodi Kallick on WFMT’s “Midnight Special” radio show in the 1960s, will be released on June 14, 2022.
Its title: What Are They Doing In Heaven Today?
