First released in 2005, Finally was seminal folk cult figure Kath Bloom’s return to active musical duty, her first officially released album since 1984.

The daughter of world famous oboist Robert Bloom, Kath grew up in New Haven, CT, where she started playing guitar among the headstones of her local cemetery as a teenager. She met avant-garde guitarist Loren Maz- zacane Connors in 1976 and together they recorded six limited edition albums of fragile folk and blues melodies, ending with final album Moon- light in 1984. Chapter Music has re-released four of these albums – Sing The Children Over, Sand In My Shoe, Restless Faithful Desperate and Moonlight – as a pair of two disc sets.
