The Story
With a voice that could wrap around you like a favorite sweater, Kim Carnes emerged from the heart of the U.S. music scene, weaving a rich tapestry of pop rock, soft rock, country, and folk influences. Her soulful delivery is perhaps best recognized in the iconic “Bette Davis Eyes,” a track that still conjures images of smoky rooms and late-night confessions. Kim’s journey began as a skilled songwriter in the early '70s, and her debut album, "Rest on Me," set the stage for a career filled with heartfelt melodies. Whether you’re swaying to “More Love” or reminiscing about the power of unexpected connections in “Love Comes from Unexpected Places,” Carnes’ music remains a nostalgic anthem for those who cherish the soundtracks of their lives, reminding us that every note carries a story waiting to be told.
