Live At The Thirsty Ear was recorded in 2008 while Kelly Richey was on tour in support of her previous CD “Speechless”. From hard-hitting blues/rock to soul-driven blues, “Live At The Thirsty Ear” is packed with powerful tracks that capture Richey at her best— live on stage. The album includes Kelly Richey favorites such as “Hey Joe”, “Nobody's Fault But Mine” and “Tears Like Rain”, and she also pays a special tribute to guitarist Roy Buchanan in a brilliant performance of "Is There Any Reason". Live At The Thirsty Ear contains two original instrumental songs from Richey’s “Speechless” CD and a funky riff-driven original tune, ”I Don’t Feel So Good” from her very first CD “Sister’s Gotta Problem.” The remaining songs chosen for Live At The Thirsty Ear were based on crowd response and band performance.

“Tears Like Rain” is a song Richey picked up from one of her favorite blues acoustic CD’s by Omar and the Howlers. The song was one of the only two electric cuts on that album, and it’s always been a favorite of Richey’s to perform. “Red House”, “Hey Joe” and “Crossroads” are songs that influenced Richey early on in her career, and it’s evident that she’s worked hard to make them her own. She also pays tribute to Nina Simone’s “Nobody’s Fault”. Richey’s performance of this song is a well-calculated knockout that takes the listener on a heavy blues journey through gospel into blues, then drives hard with a red hot blues groove right to the very last note. Live At The Thirsty Ear was recorded at the Thirsty Ear in Columbus, Ohio. Though the club is no longer there, Richey keeps this famed Blues venue alive in each and every note, and the intensity of her guitar work is clearly evident throughout this fantastic CD.

"I'm known for slinging an electric guitar, but songwriting is just as much a part of my soul as performing and I really feel that Dig A Little Deeper represents, for the first time, the complete package." So stated Kelly Richey of Dig A Little Deeper; an 11-song compilation that includes nine original tunes by Richey. Dig A Little Deeper is a heartrending synthesis of Richey's outstanding guitar work, honest, heart-felt lyrics and soulful vocal delivery. Dig A Little Deeper was originally meant to be an acoustic solo release, but turned into a KRB recording project that was engineered by Les Campbell and produced by Kiya Heartwood of Arista recording artists’ Stealin Horses.

The material on Dig A Little Deeper was written on acoustic guitar and recorded for this record with a heavy rock influence, blending Richey’s electric and acoustic guitars and highlighting her vocals and harmonies. Terry Williamson delivers solid bass lines throughout, and Eric Maylaben rounds out the band on drums providing a robust rhythm section that nails the tone of and emotional feel of Richey’s songs perfectly. Dig A Little Deeper is a poignant, but never self-pitying, glimpse of Richey at her most vulnerable. Songs like “Raining In My Head” describe an emotional story of a relationship that loses its trust to lies. “You Can’t Stop Me From Cryin” is a song about choosing to express one’s heartache no matter how badly you wish you could hide the pain. “Ripped and Torn” is a somber song of how we often wish things were different, and in time, finding ourselves changed as a result of that longing. Pensive and wistful, Dig A Little Deeper captures not only Richey’s blues-based roots, but also broadens her sound with the introduction of Americana-esque songs like "Is Anybody Listening", "It's Rainin' In My Head" and "Cracked & Bent".

This effort confidently moves Richey forward musically while maintaining the integrity of her powerful guitar playing and vocal moxie that she is known is known for. This album is a must-have for those fans who want to get to know Kelly Richey beyond her electric guitar slinger capabilities! (http://kellyrichey.com)
