Singer-songwriter Kim Richey is an American veteran that already recorded five solo CD’s. Apart from that, she wrote songs for Trisha Yearwood, James Morrison, Ryan Adams, Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
In the eleven songs on her sixth atmosphere is more important than volume in her restrained compositions, perfectly played by her live band. Her lyrics often start with an anecdote, but Richey has the ability to give them a universal validity without much emphasis.
