The red thread, in Chinese legend, is the tie that binds us together - to our friends, our families, all the important people in our lives. It's an appropriate title for Lucy Kaplansky's latest album, which explores those themes through six original songs and four well-chosen covers. The title song on "The Red Thread" is a masterful meditation on familial love through the generations, inspired by her adoption of a daughter from China. The cover songs represent a who's-who of the finest contemporary singer-songwriters: Bill Morrissey, James McMurtry, Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale, and the late Dave Carter.
