In each weekly radio program, Country Fried Rock interviews a roots musician about his or her songwriting and influences. Kim Beggs unites her quiet life in the Yukon with her musical friends and collaborators in Vancouver
With colleagues including Ivan Coyote, Steve Dawson, Jerry Alfred, Penny Lang, Dan Mangan, her music's complexity comes from the contrast of simple melodies with heady lyrics. Although none of these musicians have the general name-recognition in the United States as they do in Canada, they all should be in the playlists of all fans of modern folk music.
