5.0 out of 5 stars In search of a genre, April 28, 2000

There are those artists who defy labels. Kim Richey rests comfortably among them. A friend loaned me this CD and with the thought "let it grow on you." And it did! Some compare her music to an early Eagles / California rock to country. That's a fair description. I think what got me was the combination of her well written lyrics and the talent of her surrounding musicians. Each time I hear it, I pick up on things I didn't hear before. And to be honest, I kind when friends come over and ask "Who's that?" I think word of mouth, as shown with the other reviews here speak volumes about Richey's talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it, April 3, 2000

I love singer-songwriters...John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett, James Taylor, Karla Bonoff...and now, Kim Richey. I can't believe that I hadn't heard of her before now, but saw her recently on Sessions at West 54th with John Hiatt, and immediately had to check her out. Great vocals, fine production, teriffic harmonies, excellent lyrics. I'll blindly buy whatever has her name associated with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm lucky to have heard of this wonderful artist!!, October 7, 2000

My wife and I read a bio of this super-talented singer songwriter in Stereophile magazine, and bought the CD on a lark 2 years ago. Suffice to say, if this were a vinyl record, we would have worn it out by now! And, we now own the other 2 Kim Richey titles as well. Every track is a winner on this disc, with Kim and band offering soaring vocals, lyrics and playing that are intelligent, creative and moving. If you are a country-rock fan, and appreciate fabulous music making over commercially attuned hit making, this is a no-brainer----buy this disc now!!
