Kristi Kimsey

As I look back I have such wonderful memories of recording my songs and duet.

Whilst recording ‘Rings Around The Moon’ at Longview Farm, Frank, and the band heard my songs and wanted to record them with me. Always after dinner!

Everything was cut live with very few overdubs. It was such a thrill to hear my songs come to life with wonderful talented musicians.

‘Trying To Get Back To You’ (Hookend) was recorded by Alvin Lee at his Space Studios. Alvin and Mick Ralphs walked into the studio while I was singing and playing the piano and said ‘Let’s record this now!’

At Compass Point Studios, Keith invited me to sing ‘Let’s Go Steady Again’ with him, which was a one-take wonder!

Thanks to Chris for capturing all these precious moments in my life. To find and hear my songs after all these years, has been truly special.

“Rootsy soul with a breezy west coast allure – there’s sprinkling of solid gold Dusty in Kristi’s voice, unlocked from the vaults of time, that enchants and mesmerizes. A most appealing release from a hitherto unsung voice.” – Decibel Report

Everett Watson

Everett Watson’s first musical experience was as a teenager in 1976 when Peter Frampton released Frampton Comes Alive. Like many, Everett was literally blown away by the music, lyrics, and incendiary guitar work. Not long after that, Everett bought his first guitar which was an Ibanez Les Paul copy.

Decades later in 2010 Everett Watson bought tickets for one of Peter Frampton’s concerts in Beaver Colorado at the Valar Center and paid the extra to get backstage passes. Ironically, Everett had just started writing and recording songs in his home studio. After the concert, Everett met Peter and among many of the questions he asked Peter was if he could recommend someone to work with professionally to get some of his songs mastered. Peter told Everett about Chris Kimsey and suggested that he contact him. At that time, Everett had no idea that Chris also engineered Frampton Comes Alive.

Everett contacted Chris via his website and told him a little about himself and the referral he received from Peter and asked Chris if they could do some work together and Chris agreed. Everett was relatively new to the music business and writing songs and Chris coached and mentored him and inspired him to continue writing. Everett never would have believed where this newfound relationship would lead.

In 2020 Everett became inspired to write his first solo album which is titled Politico. Everett performed the instruments and vocals and did the mixing with Chris’s feedback and coaching. Chris produced and mastered the album. The album Politico is now available at all digital outlets.
