Release Date: 09/03/21

Strong sophomore effort sure to be a hit at bluegrass radio with the talents of Grammy winning producer Clay Hess

'This album originally started out to be the first project with my band, Kim Robins and 40 Years Late.
Unfortunately, during the recording session, a couple of band members left, and the only song we
were able to release was 'I'll Always Be A Gambler,' written by our banjo player, Josh Woods. All the
songs were chosen and arranged with the band in mind.
The year 2020 brought on its own challenges, and a string of personal tragedies hit my life. First,
my one and only sibling, my brother Jeff, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, my husband was
diagnosed with prostate cancer, my father died, COVID-19 hit, and my mother became ill. I was
considered an essential worker with my job as a Registered Nurse for the Indiana State Department of
Health and was busy overseeing that COVID-positive nursing homes followed CDC guidelines. I was
forced to cancel my remaining 2020 bluegrass season because of everything going on in my life.
I wanted to get the album released--therefore, it morphed into less of a band album and more of a
'special guests' album. I am thankful to everyone who helped out on this project, especially Clay Hess
and Tim Crouch. I wish it could have been the full band in its entirety, but sometimes, 'life happens,'
and things do not work out the way we had planned. I hope you all enjoy the project either way. I'm
not sure what the future holds for me in music, but I do hope to see you all sometime soon.'
