Kim Richey - Collection |
Richey`s material possesses the same slow-burning passion as Lucinda Williams` best work. This is where one begins. Telling tales largely of loss, heartache, and regret, Richey sometimes wallows in sadness and sometimes finds some hope for the future. "4 stars.. Although Rise was her most accomplished and focused work, there are brilliant songs from previous albums that are among her best and are waiting to be rediscovered. The Collection is a fine sampling of these songs and is a perfect place to begin for anyone who is just now discovering Richey`s music. Taken from her debut disc, the quiet rhythms and delicate arrangement of "Can`t Find the Words" perfectly capture the essence of Richey`s music, while "Those Words We Said" is the hit that never was as a chugging organ drives the song`s aching melody. The lazy pop of "I Know," from Bitter Sweet, also missed on radio, but that album`s true highlight is "Straight as the Crow Flies," one of Richey`s sweetest and most heartfelt songs. .. The Collection is a first-rate introduction to an artist whose musical gifts have been ignored for far too long. "-AMG.
