Kim Richey (born in 1956 in Zanesville, Ohio [Musician Guide http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608000882/Kim-Richey.html] ) is an American singer/songwriter. Though her work fits into the general country music category, her sound is not easily categorised. Her songs have been hits on both the country and pop charts.

She collaborated with Radney Foster on "Nobody Wins" and co-wrote Trisha Yearwood's hit "Believe Me Baby (I Lied)". Her own 1995 self-titled debut album provided her first country hit, "Just My Luck", as well as the follow-up "Those Words We Said" (which Trisha Yearwood also recorded).

Kim provided backing vocals on "Come Pick Me Up" on the 2000 debut album Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams.

In 2004 her track, "A Place Called Home", was featured in episode 16 of season 5, "Shells", of the Angel television series. The song later appeared on the "Angel" soundtrack, "". Her most recent album, Chinese Boxes, was released on July 10, 2007 with her new single "Jack and Jill".

On 7 July, 2007, she performed in Washington at Live Earth.
