This week:
PAUL THORN
and
KELLY RICHEY
sit on
THE COUCH

A bluesman from Tupelo, Mississippi, a hotbed of talent and a hard-driving rocker, who is exploring her other side in a recent life change.
 

Paul Thorn was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and raised among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured a young Elvis generations before.

Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes. He worked for years in a furniture factory and battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Durán on national television.

He signed with and has been dropped by a major label. He has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, and John Prine among many other headliners, and makes some incredible music along the way.  He tackles all subjects and normally gives then a wink of the eye.

I saw Paul at The Biscuit this year, as he opened for B.B. King, and immediately knew I wanted him to sit on The Couch and he will be doing so Monday. We will hear some of the fantastic music off of his newest album Pimps & Preachers – which Paul described as a history of his family!

 

Then Kelly Richey will join me. Kelly has been described as “Stevie Ray Vaughan trapped in a woman’s body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out.” The Kentucky native has based herself in Cincinnati with her band.

They released Carry The Light in 2008. Back then, I reviewed it on my blog in this post and at that time wrote “This woman knows her way around an ax. She has fingers that, at times, must burst into flames , while at other times they sensually trace along the fretboard of her guitar.”

She has taken the time and become a True Purpose Coach, Dream Coach and Health & Wellness Coach; assisting people in finding their way in this world.

Add to that, her involvement in a program called Music For Change.  In their information it reads;  mission is to 'The mission of the organization’s programs is to bring today’s curriculum standards to life through music, while recognizing the importance of music education in the development and growth of the whole child.'

We will talk with Kelly about how her music, the record label she started and her newest passions all exist in her world.

We will take your calls and questions for both guests at 1.347.633.9400.
