Kim and Friends' Songs
Rose and Blows

I wrote this for the indie film Two Days by Paige Carl Griggs. I read the script and put myself in the place of May, the female lead. Duane helped me by adding slide guitar and harmonica. I hope you like it. You can also hear it in the Two Days trailer.

My friend Terry says this sounds like a drinkin' song. So get a beer (if you're so inclined) and sing along!

My friend Smilestir wanted to write a song about the blues all those people feel when she does their taxes. Smilestir's an accountant. Rose and Blows are accountants, too. So we joined forces... Smilestir on lyrics and talkin', Duane on the music, and Kim on the singin'. It debuted in the #1 spot on the 1Sound Blues chart, and Firstboss gave it the coveted This doesn't hurt my ears award!

My friend Banker (who happens to be a banker) was begging me for over a year to record a blues song. So I thought it appropriate to make the first one I did a song about a banker. I'm happy to say that Banker was pleased with the song.

This is an acoustic cover of The Eagle's song. It was fun to let loose on those high harmonies!

This classic hymn was recorded especially for the Strange Sandwich Ducks Unlimited CD. It reached #1 on the World/Folk Covers Songs chart at Mp3.com.

First published in 1652, the original version (called "Greensleeves") was a popular drinking song. In 1865, William Chatterton Dix wrote "The Manger Throne." Three of his verses of became part of the current day "What Child Is This?"

Back in the 1800s, church authorities denounced this song for its lack of musical taste and "total absence of the spirit of religion." I say, "Whatever dudes!" I think it's beautiful and fits the season well.

This song used to receive a lot of airplay on Shaky Tee's "Divas and Dames" show at Artistlaunch.com. It's one of the early recordings from Rose and Blows. It's funny... it seems the earliest recordings are the fan favorites.

Milo created this remix of Rose and Blows' song and made it into a trip hop beauty. Thanks to Milo for taking it to a new dimension.

This one is a favorite among Rose and Blows fans. This is the first duet we released publicly. It spent some time at #1 on the MP3.com Folk Rock charts.

I provided the backing vocals to this one.

This is a sad song.

A song about love that didn't work. I like the line, "Maybe we'd have made it before, if we had danced a little more."

A song about following your heart. Even if it seems to turn everything you know upside down. If it feels right, it's right... no matter how crazy it is.

I wrote this one quite a few years before I recorded it. I really didn't think it was much of a song. After I recorded it, it's become one of my favorites.

An acoustic duet remake of a song I wrote.

Slow at the start and fast at the end. I love the mandolin in this one. It hit #1 World Traditional at 1Sound.
