The Kim Richey Interview: Album Inspiration, Girls Just Wanna Weekend, & Songwriting Heroes; w/ special guest Jillian Matundan

This week’s Artists You Should Know is a treat to introduce, because she’s one of my favorite songwriters, Kim Richey. She’s had her songs recorded by Trisha Yearwood, Jim Lauderdale, Patty Loveless, Suzy Bogguss, Terri Clark, Brooks and Dunn, and Radney Foster. She’s recorded harmony vocals on songs for Jason Isbell, Reba McEntire, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ryan Adams, Rodney Crowell, Radney Foster, and Trisha Yearwood. Most recently, her 10th studio album, Every New Beginning, reached number 10 on the Billboard Americana/Folk chart. One of the best writers in the business, with impeccable timing and soaring vocals that melt like butter, here’s our interview with Kim Richey. Also, stick around for the last half for our interview with special guest Jillian Matundan.
