Kimberly Richey (born December 1, 1956) is an American singer and songwriter.

Early life

[edit]

Richey was born in Zanesville, Ohio, on December 1, 1956.

Career

[edit]

Richey entered music in the 1990s, and secured her first recording contract with Mercury Nashville at the age of 37.[1][2] She spent the next few years promoting her albums and touring with Wynonna Judd and others.

Compositions

[edit]

Her songs have been recorded by Trisha Yearwood ("Believe Me Baby (I Lied)"), Radney Foster ("Nobody Wins"), and Brooks & Dunn ("Every River").[1][3]

Recordings

[edit]

Her May 1995 self-titled debut album was produced by Richard Bennett. It contained the singles "Just My Luck" and "Those Words We Said."[4]

Her follow-up album, Bitter Sweet, was produced by Angelo and released in 1997. It contained the single "I Know".[5]

Glimmer was released in 1999. Produced by Hugh Padgham (XTC), the album also features guitarist Dominic Miller (Sting).[3][6]

Rise was released in 2002 and was produced by Bill Bottrell.[7][8]

Her 2007 album Chinese Boxes was recorded in London and produced by Giles Martin.[2][9]

Wreck Your Wheels was released in 2010. It was produced by Neilson Hubbard in his studio.[10]

Released in 2013, Thorn in My Heart was again produced by Neilson Hubbard and features guest vocals from Trisha Yearwood.[11] A limited edition version of the album was released in 2014 as Thorn in My Heart: The Work Tapes with only Richey on guitar and vocals.[12]

Edgeland was released March 30, 2018, and produced by Brad Jones. Edgeland includes three different tracking bands of Nashville’s roots players. Like Thorn in My Heart, Edgeland was released on Yep Roc Records.[13]
