Yes, I know Kimmie and have all five of her CDs.

Her best album is the excellent "West Texas Heaven." It includes duets with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Townes Van Zandt and features some of the best Texas songwriting (and that's saying a lot) that I've ever heard. "Picture in a Frame," which is all duets with Willie Nelson, some of them taken from other albums, is also very good.

"Jackalopes, Moons & Angels," a compilation drawn from her early LPs is pretty good, particularly the duet with Joe Ely.

"Love Me Like A Song," is OK.

I'm less enraptured with "Rich from the Journey," which has a new agey feel to too many of the songs, although there are several very good ones.
