REVIEWS
Red 14 - "I love this tune. It's got fire, good lyrics, great pocket, and I can tell that the singer is having a good time. This makes the listener have the same good time. The singer's style is hot and sassy. Great Job!

The only thing I can say is that I can't wait to hear this girl on the radio. You are really great!"
...Joe Vitale (Eagles-CSN)

...”Hayes is somewhat a composite of Pearl (Janis Joplin) and Etta James, possessing both Joplin’s grit and James’ guts. She is at home and totally competent singing either ballads or hard driving rock, sometime sultry and at other times sweaty but at all times right on the money”...Bluesrockers.ws

...”Kimi Hayes reflects a lot of artistic maturity and depth. There’s an earnestness and confidence to her songs and vocals”
... Chicago Tribune

...”Good Musicianship”...”Solid band”...”I really like the singer”... ”I think they are doing great stuff”... various reviewers...Broadjam.com

...”She simmers when she needs to, but knows when to relax and let the natural beauty of her gift speak for itself”
... Chicago Arts & Entertainment

RED 14 - The Kimi Hayes Band
     CD Review is brand new to NextCelebs.com and for the inaugural review I chose Red 14 by the Kimi Hayes Band.
     Red 14 is a perfect example of a CD that has just the right mix.  From high-energy songs such as 'April Rain', 'Never Fade' and the title track to the more soulful tracks like 'Take the Pain' and 'Give It All', this CD really delivers.  Kimi's ability to translate life experiences into music can be heard on my favorite track - 'Watered Down Whiskey'.
     As for Kimi herself, if you were to combine Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge into a 5'3" package, my guess is that the result would resemble Ms. Kimi Hayes.
     Another release by the Kimi Hayes Band well worth picking up is Porcupine Girl.  You can find out more about the Kimi Hayes Band at www.KimiHayes.com
