Artist description Fancy Prairie is not a folk album. It would be easy to categorize Eva Hunter as a folk singer/songwriter, however, since she has been performing throughout the Midwest with only her guitar to accompany her voice. Though acoustic guitar does appear prominently throughout the album, Hunter's new CD "Fancy Prairie" is not easy to categorize due to the array of musical sounds used from song to song. Understandably, the completion of the album is quite a relief for Eva. "Now everyone can hear what I've been hearing all along. It's exciting that the category people seem to put my music in may now change."
