“Kimmie Rhodes: The soul of a poet and the voice of an angel. Walls Fall Down: Everything you need to hear about what you need to know.”
– Rodney Crowel
“Kimmie has the voice of a beautiful child coming from an old soul. She touches us where the better angels of our nature dwell, and I believe we need that now more than ever. If you haven’t before, do yourself a favor in this New Year and bring her into your listening life.”
– Emmylou Harris
Kimmie Rhodes delivers a superb set of all new recordings, with nine self-penned songs never before heard, a Townes Van Zandt classic and a new tune written by Rodney Crowell. Recorded in her Austin studio with a stellar cast of friends including Irish pals Keiran Goss and Ann Kinsella, multi-instrumentalist and co-producer Gabriel Rhodes, rock-solid rhythm section stars John Gardner and Glen Fukunaga (Dixie Chicks, Joe Ely, Don Williams), and cello master Brian Standefer (Alejandro Escovedo, Patty Griffin), the music ranges from Americana country to contemporary folk to Texas rock. Once again we are treated to the brilliant lyrics, fantastical imagination, positive inspiration, and pointed irony of Kimmie’s writing, which has earned her many platinum-selling songs and famous admirers over the years. To introduce this new CD to her fans, Kimmie is playing more than 40 dates in Europe, the UK and Ireland February through April 2008 and returns for more shows in the fall of 2008.
