Born December 1, 1956, in Zanesville
Singer/songwriter Kim Richey is one of the most highly acclaimed “insurgent country” acts to grace nineties country music. Traversing the wake of the New Country movement with such well- honed songwriting credentials as “Nobody Wins”—a mega-hit co- written with country artist Radney Foster—and the successful singles “Things We Said” and “(Believe Me Baby) I Lied” for Tricia Yearwood, Richey has also parlayed her pleasing soprano and her status as an “artist” into two critically praised albums that blur the lines between pop, rock, country, and folk music. Her stylistic mix was characterized as a “jangly, driving style of country rock,” by New Country magazine, while Country Music’s Geoffrey Himes cited Richey’s strong Beatles influences and noted that “it’s the way her tunes always move to the unexpected note, the unpredictable chord, that gives the songs their emotional charge.”
Richey was born in rural Zanesville, Ohio, in 1956, and, after her father died in a swimming accident when she was two, Kim, her sister Karla, and her brother Chris moved to Dayton with their mother, a telephone operator, and her second husband. While many country artists cite a love affair with country music that dates back to the cradle, Richey admits that the soundtrack to her youth was actually top 40’s pop; some of her favorite records as a kid growing up were Janice Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” and the Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Do You Believe In Magic.”She was fortunate to have an aunt who owned a record shop, where Richey had the run of the 45’s bin. The singer credits that experience with making songs carry more weight in her eyes than personalities.

I remember being at a Tex-Mex joint in Lubbock eating lunch with friends. I heard some music in the background I couldn't identify. I asked my friend, "who's that?" "It's Kim Richey, I think," he replied. I started looking for a recording and found her eponymous album and bought it. I was hooked. What an extraordinary voice! She knows how to pitch her songs to take advantage of her talent. She writes excellent lyrics and she chooses great musicians for her studio work. It's some of the best music in my collection.
