Press Reviews ?Sweet and sumptuous guitar playing, personal lyrics that touch your heart with their candor and playfulness, and a voice that soothes is in store for collectors of Kathy Hussey's latest CD, "If Wishes Were Horses". This is not country music, no twang, only a natural voice, bare folk accompaniment with deep bass, occasional violin, jazz guitars, and a perfectly recorded acoustic guitar. Kathy is a substantial singing/songwriting talent...every song on the CD is a melodic touching gem.? -Earbuzz.com?In this self-produced album of original songs, Kathy Hussey displays a nice touch with both lyrics and guitar...?Table For Two? is a particularly insightful vignette, which suggests that Hussey may be a songwriter to watch. Nashville music scene talents Bob Mater, Tracy Nelson, John Catchings, and Brent [Truitt] are among those who contribute to the project.? (KD) -Dirty Linen Magazine" A smashing debut from the Nashville writers' night and Wilhagan's icon...In alot of cases, I've come to expect first C.D.'s from local songwriters to sound like a vain effort to transform acoustic/vocal music to something more elaborate, but resulting in something not as relevant as one would like...Not the case here, as the vision behind the raw song explodes...Producer Bob Mater, it seems, must be an extension of Kathy, or vice versa...A very pleasant listen...I was a Kathy Hussey fan already, too, so I'm very pleased to know that I can listen to her whenever I want to now...Buy it!!!!?-Jack Scott from Jack?s New Music Review?You need to get in the studio again...very, very nice...some silky smooth voicework from Kathy Hussey...A fantastic songwriter! All the songs tell such a great story...I listen to songs all day, and the songs that really hit me are the ones that I can get a visual picture of and boy you paint a pretty picture.?-(from a live interview with Keith West) - WRVG FM Lexington
