"IF YOU LIKE STRAIGHT AHEAD ROCK AND ROLL GUITAR PLAYING WITH BLUES MIXED IN, THEN THIS IS YOUR BAG. NO FRILLS HERE. JUST MIND NUMBING STRIPPED DOWN GUITAR PLAYING. THIS 3 PIECE GROUP LAYS DOWN SOME OF THE MOST HARD EDGED BLUES / ROCK AROUND. HER VOCALS MATCH HER PLAYING. ROUGH AND SMOOTH AT THE SAME TIME. TOUGH TO EXPLAIN BUT INCREDIBLE TO WATCH. HER STUDIO CD CALLED " SENDING ME ANGELS " IS , IN MY OPINION , HER BEST WORK. HER LATEST LIVE CD " LIVE, AS IT SHOULD BE " IS A DOUBLE DISC SET OF BUTT KICKIN' ROCKIN' BLUES. SHE ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE JOAN ARMATRADING VOCALLY SOMETIMES AND THEN JANIS JOPLIN. SOMEWHAT LIMITED IN SCOPE BUT A GREAT TREAT FOR US OLD TIME ROCKERS THAT HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF OUR MIND NUMBING STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN ENERGY. KEEP ROCKIN KELLY......................."

"This DVD was my introduction to Kelly Richey. Her performance on this is a total knockout! What a breath of fresh air! I was looking for something new when I stumbled onto this DVD. I found what I was looking for in every way. One incredible performance after another. Included on the DVD is an interview with Kelly. In it, she mentions that she has always liked how an artist such as Eric Clapton or Bonnie Raitt can take a song out of the archives and make it their own. Well, Kelly does this with "Hey Joe", most commonly remembered as a Jimi Hendrix cut. I loved Hendrix's cover of this song. Still do. To me, Kelly's cover is the definitive version! Wait until you hear her versions of "Red House" & "Crossroads". Yeow! You are in for a treat. She also performs 3 tunes that she either wrote or co-wrote. "Now You Need Me" is spot on perfect. Her vocals on "Talks All Over Town" makes my heart melt. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a very talented lady. Kelly is a true musician. Buy this DVD and see her live every chance you get. Your heart will be happy. Peace."
