Lisa Kindred
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lisa Kindred is an American folk and blues singer.
Kindred, born in Buffalo,[1] was a figure in the Greenwich Village/Cambridge folk scene of the 1960's; she played with Bob Dylan and other folk singers, playing at the Cafe Wha?,[2] Club 47, and other venues.
Kindred's debut album, I Like It This Way, was released on Vanguard Records in 1965. Her second album was to have been released on Vanguard in 1966 under the title Kindred Spirit,[3] but the master tapes were stolen[4][5] and delivered to Mel Lyman, a musician in the backing band and soon-to-be leader of the Mel Lyman Family. The album was only released four years later on Warner Bros/Reprise Records under the aegis of the Lyman Family, titled American Avatar - Love Comes Rolling Down. The album cover sported a picture of Lyman, not Kindred.[4][5]
That was Kindred's last album on a major label. She became a long-time fixture on the San Francisco bar scene, appearing on occasional compilations and a self-released 2002 CD, Steppin' Up In Class.
