Editorial review
Kelly Richey has a voice that's perfect for blues-rock. No one will accuse the Cincinnati, OH-based singer/guitarist (who is originally from Kentucky) of having a pretty or smooth voice -- she has one of those rugged, gritty, whiskey-soaked voices that blues-rockers are known for, and that voice serves her impressively well on Sending Me Angels. This excellent CD doesn't cater to blues purists; not everything on Sending Me Angels has 12 bars. But everything on Sending Me Angels does have a wealth of blues feeling; that is true whether Richey is embracing blues-rock ("Lifetime Guarantee," "Nothin' to Do With Love," and "All the Help I Can Get"), roots rock ("Now You Need Me"), or blue-eyed soul "Sending Me Angels"). Richey is especially compelling on Nina Simone's "Nobody's Fault but Mine"; instead of trying to provide a carbon copy of Simone's version (which would have been pointless), Richey is wise enough to put her own stamp on the song. Richey brings toughness and grit to these performances, but she also brings a lot of vulnerability and warmth to the table. Sending Me Angels is an album in which blues, rock, and soul are all important parts of the picture; it's also an album that is without a dull moment. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Blues Revue Magazine February/March 2002
Cincinnati-based singer/guitarist Kelly Richey takes a quantum leap forward on her 5th album for her own label. While producer John Snyder (Joe Louis Walker, Etta James,. Charles Brown, Derek Trucks) can't take all the credit for Richey's stunning new release, he had a lot to do with focusing her and nailing a sound that's both tough and tender.
On the tough side, Richey's gravelly voice is comparable to Melissa Etheridge's, but her singing is far less abrasively in-your-face than that of the Midwestern rocker. Even when she rips into a basic, no-brains, Stonesy rocker like "Now You Need Me," Richey doesn't resort to throat-shredding intensity, preferring to lay back and add nuance. As for tender, the gospel-infused title track shows she can apporoach beautiful songs with grace and subtlety.
