Edgeland

After a nearly five year hiatus, **Kim Richey** returns with her eighth studio album *'Edgeland'*. The term, *'Edgeland,'* is defined as the lost zone between urban and rural environments, a concept which mimics **Richey's** constant fluctuation between the rigid genre definitions of country and Americana music. Richey naturally settles between the two, ignoring convention and instead allowing her own intuitive musical progression to shape her sound.

On her latest record, **Richey** teamed up with producer **Brad Jones** at his studio Alex the Great Recording in Nashville during the summer of 2017. Following in the collaborative footsteps of her 2013 album, *'Thorn In My Heart,'* **Richey** brought in a few of her most talented friends to record *'Edgeland,'* filling the tracks with accompanying vocals and instrumental contributions that make for a pleasant surprise at every turn. The result is a 12-track collection of work showcasing both **Richey's** musical adaptability and knack for collaborative songwriting. Special guests include **Chuck Prophet, Robyn Hitchcock, Pat Sansone** *(Wilco, The Autumn Defense),* **Pat McLaughlin, Mando Saenz,** and more
