“Désirée” is a brand new single releasing January 31, 2020 from Gordon’s upcoming double album “Eiderdown.”

“Kathleen Healy writes songs that come right from the heart, and when she sings them for you, they'll go right into your heart.”
— Bob Weiser, host of the Old Songs' Home Radio Show on WOMR, Provincetown, MA
"The 12-track, 42-minute LP is of a personal nature. Her melodies are often memorable with touches of classic melodies from other sources (“Gift From My Mother”) the most obvious. Nonetheless, the tune is a beauty, with excellent sound. A playful tone to Ms. Healy’s voice — ala Nanci Griffith. (True, as well of “Slip Away”). Most effecting.
Kathleen is a valued folk singer. She steps into big shoes. Has sincerity, poignancy & warmth to her repertoire. She isn’t yet political – yet. She seems to prefer the importance of family, friends, unions & reminding all of us — life is worth living."
--John Apice - Americana Highways

Lucas Choi Zimbel and his trusty sound engineer, Pi Sailin-Cutler, borrowed microphones they could never afford from the former owner of Montreal’s famed Studio Victor, North-America’s original RCA studio built in 1942, and headed up to Va-Nu-Pieds for three days. Lucas did not wear headphones to hear playback. As it was played, so it is heard.
