Reviews Customer Reviews for West Texas Heaven      The essence of Texas - in music      Rating:      Living in Glasgow, Scotland I get limited exposure to "the less well known" American artists. However, after hearing Kimmie's song "Hard Promises to keep" on a local Scottish radio station I immediately sought out this record. Kimmie's gentle and sweet voice fully compliments the stripped back, flowing feel of the music. This creates a very personal feel to the music; its as if she is in your living room playing to you as an audience of one! The duets on the album are also perfect. Its if the songs were made with the contributors in mind - particularly the Willie Nelson's vocal style. The beautiful and evocative lyrics also contribute to painting a mind's-eye picture for me of Texas. As I stated at the start of this review, geographically, I'm a million miles from Texas but for me this record evokes "the essence of Texas!" - a definite all time favourite.     Customer Reviews for West Texas Heaven Cd      Simply Sublime      Rating:      I have listened to this cd driving through the hills of west texas near fort davis.....alpine, terlingua....next to butch's "I could have walked around the world".....or chris whitley.....it speaks west texas....as much as any music I've heard.... evoking the colors of the big bend...the carefree and lyrical feeing of driving in the middle of nowhere without feeling the least bit alone.....thanks kimmie for this masterpiece....
