Barbara Keith
Barbara Keith is an American folk-rock singer-songwriter who recorded two largely overlooked solo albums around 1969–1972 before withdrawing from the industry. Her 1972 self-titled Reprise album has become a cult classic, and her songs have been widely covered; she later resurfaced fronting the family rock band the Stone Coyotes.
