In a valley carved into the Smokey Mountains, the seeds of an Irish and Cherokee lineage grew deep roots and stretched to the stars, becoming a tree bearing rich fruitâ¦the tree of songs by Kim McLean.

Her âgenreâ⦠knows no bounds, her âformatââ¦no limits. Kim McLean is first, last, and alwaysâ¦a songwriter. A songwriter writes songs, must write songs, and will write songs when the rest of the world finds nothing creative to sing about. Kim McLean is a songwriter whose soul always has something to sing about.

From her Dove Award-winning, âCount Your Blessingâ (the Martins), to the Juddâs reunion single, âStuck in Loveâ, to CMTâs most requested video, âElisabethâ (Billy Gilman), Kim McLean no stranger to having songs of hers recorded to make an impact. Her first radio single as an artist, âAngels and Eaglesâ, a duet with Dolly Parton hit Top Ten on the ICMA Charts and garnered a female vocalist and duo of the year nomination for the ICMA Awards.

Trisha Yearwood, Kelley Coffey, Tim McGraw, Lee Ann Womack, Jennifer Hanson, and Sierra are among artists whoâve recorded songs by Kim McLean with the recurring sentiment of âshe said what I wanted to sing.â For a songwriter, that is perhaps the highest compliment. Her production of Lisa Brokopâs âHey Do You Know Meâ returned a CCMA âAlbum of the Yearâ nomination as well as a nod for âSong of the Yearâ. Her production work with Americana artist, Eve Selis has also produced award-winners.

As an innovative producer, a captivating artist, and inspired speaker, Kim McLeanâs name appears on many projects. Youâve heard her voice on CBS, featured on JAG. With three independent CDâs of her own, Kim has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada as artist and event speaker. Sheâs produced cuts and developed artists for Capitol, Sony/Columbia, and Warner Brothers along with several independent labels.

But when the day is done, and the excitement of the music âbusinessâ fades, you can hear the sound of a haunting mountain melody weaving its way through the hollows of Big Sky Heaven Blue Farm in Kingston Springs, Tennessee as a solitary figure, pen in hand, guitar at her heart lets her spirit speak the words that singers all dream of singingâ¦because first, last, and always, Kim McLean is a songwriter.
