Move With Love

Description

Between a broken heart and a cigarette break, Kathy Heideman left the American West's highway and broke down somewhere south of the Hungry Valley SVRA. On a dusty roadside, truck stop coffee flows to the rhythm of mournful tunes. Her skeletal, echo-filled guitar vibrates a little too loudly for the average sandal-clad hitchhiker. More Bakersfield than Laurel Canyon, 'Move With Love' was released in 1976 on the Dia label in a plain white sleeve. Kathy Heideman's only record suffered the geographical misfortune of maturing in the pre-Silicon orchards of San Jose, California, far from the more marketable realms – Emmylou's court, for instance, or Joni Mitchell's summer lawn. Heideman herself subsequently faded away, packing her wavering, singular voice into a rustic suitcase, slowly taking to the road and disappearing into the setting sun.
