Kerry Rutherford’s intelligent songwriting shines in this collection of songs rich with guitar work and ably accentuated with the viola, harmonica and percussion of the five-member Kerry Rutherford Band. She mentions Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service as early influences, which can be heard in everything from the vocals to the way the songs are built.
Fort Wayne Magazine, December 2007, p. 26
Sometimes, no matter how intelligent an artist is, he or she has to push from another level entirely to really connect with the listener. Some might say it’s writing from the heart, or maybe just letting the muse do her thing and letting the music come naturally. The bottom line is communication. When Kerry Rutherford and her impressive recording crew assembled to put together Lost Again, the pieces definitely fell into place, allowing the singer/songwriter to explore positives, negatives and emotional gray areas alike with instrumental firepower to back up her unwaveringly honest, searching lyrics.

Felix Moxter, on his viola, has graciously played with the group since the beginning, around 5 years ago. Jon Gauthier, now living in Arizona, jammed on bass for several years, contributing his excellent bass chops.
Rebirth is a live extended version. with added crystal singing bowl at the beginning played by Linda Swarts. Musicians on these live recordings are Felix on viola, Jon on bass, Kerry on guitars and vocals, Houston Smith on drums and Duane Eby on effected guitar. It was an honor to work with such talent.
