Kimmie Rhodes
Hypnotized, Kimmie Rhodes’ 19th solo album, continues an unbroken chain of diverse and creative work from the legendary West Texas artist. Her new self-penned tunes weave a tapestry of styles and sounds that are rooted in all of Americana’s best rock, pop, and folk influences.
From the lush title track to the jaunty singalong, “No Tom Petty” to the irresistibly sly and flirtatious “Man Who Went Walking in Paris” to the mantra of hope, “Just Love,” to “If You Closed Your Eyes,” the warmly affectionate duet with punk icon Alejandro Escovedo and “Automatic Music Inc.” co-written with legendary Sonny West (Oh Boy & Rave On,) Kimmie’s eclectic and empathetic voice and songwriting style prove to be wondrously hypnotizing.
