Small Town Girl
One morning in the summer of 1996 I walked into my writing room and sat down at my desk intending to write an autobiographically bent song called “Small Town Girl”. Three weeks later, to my surprise, I held in my hands the script to a play and seventeen songs, a musical fairy tale based on my version of reality as a child and a hidden desire to right my world. This soundtrack collection is a musical journey begun many years ago with Joe Gracey, using a four track tape machine, recording me and some friends gathered around my dining room table. A few years later we cut more songs at Pedernales Recording Studio and also at Jack “Cowboy” Clement’s studio in Nashville while we were doing the sessions for my “West Texas Heaven” CD. Recently, with the help of Gabe Rhodes, we finished recording the last of the tracks here in Austin in our home studio, Sunbird Music. It is the liberty of an artist to control through the medium things we could never otherwise change and a stunning and humbling experience for a small town girl to witness a stage flooded with colorful lights and graced with actors and musicians in glittery costumes bringing to life a happy ending. My most heartfelt thanks to Joe Sears for showing me the way and to all my friends and family who were willing to come and play along.

Windblown, featuring all new original songs by Kimmie, paints a poignant picture in song of a young woman who has exiled herself to the wilderness of the Texas Big Bend in a struggle to escape the sorrows of her bordertown life and the bad choices she has made. With exceptional performances by legendary players like Lloyd Maines, John Gardner, Richard Bowden, and Gabe Rhodes, this CD takes us back to Kimmie's West Texas roots to explore the drama of love and death on the border. Windblown also serves as the soundtrack to a new Kimmie Rhodes performance art piece, a stage production featuring interpretive dance performed to live music with award-winning actor Joe Sears serving as narrator for the story and playing a variety of legendary “spirits of the desert”. The world premier is set for January 21st, 2005. Produced by Gabe Rhodes, Windblown explores more of the rich world of Kimmie's lyrical, musical, and now dramatic vision.

Lost and Found
Rummaging through my song catalogue the other day it dawned on me. Ironically, a lot of my most favorite songs and recordings over the past decade somehow never made it to release. They once were lost but now they’re found. Thanks for listening, Kimmie

West Texas Heaven
"If West Texas had a voice I think it would sound like Kimmie Rhodes. Her nightinggale's warble is as plaintive as the flat plains pure as the untainted air, as big as the endless horizon, as wild and free as the wind." - Joe Nick Patoski
