"Living for the Stars" was released in 1999, with Cathy sharing production duties with David K. It was recorded during the summer of 1998 in Calgary. This is the last "non-quilting" CD Cathy recorded.
This CD is available on Sealed With A Kiss Records. It returns Cathy to her acoustic roots, away from the "band" sound of the previous two recordings "Footprints on the Moon" (1988), and "Dance Beneath the Moon" (1991). "Living for the Stars" features 13 tracks and 13 musicians, including Oliver Schroer (violin), David Wilkie (as the "Mandolin Kid"), Ron Casat (accordion and piano), John Hyde (acoustic bass), Dorothy Bishop (cello), Lincoln Frey (clarinet and soprano sax), Jack Hiles (congas) and Eileen McGann (vocals) and David K (electric bass, vocals, National tri-cone guitar).
