At 11:30 The legendary Cris Williamson who recently released her 32nd album, Motherland, talks with Mark. A brilliant songwriter, poet, pioneer, and renegade who recorded her first album in the 1964 when she was sixteen. Cris Williamson’s groundbreaking album, The Changer and the Changed, from 1975, became one of the best-selling independent releases of all time, selling over 500,000 copies. The sales allowed the independent label Olivia Records the ability to release music from a whole new movement of diverse female artists, all overlooked by mainstream music. Cris Williamson helped to forge a historic movement for women in the male dominated music industry, fostering the creation of completely female owned record labels, touring companies, and music festivals. Cris Williamson recently was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Americana Music Association. Cris Williamson, Barbara Higbie and Teresa Trull play The Center for Spiritual Living – Kansas City, 1014 West 39th Street, KCMO, on Thursday, May 30, at 7:00 PM.
