As we plow into another week of our subscription drive (which we’re running until June 15), I thought it a good time to pop back into this space and give you an update.

Caitlin Cary (Whiskeytown) is working on her needlepoint interpretation of a beautiful portrait of Elizabeth Cotten, and Canadian singer-songwriter Kaia Kater is composing the book’s closing essay, about why we need to tell the stories of the women who helped lay the foundation for this music we all love.
