Classic Album Review: Kim Wright | Everyday That Scares You

The prairie rocker kicks ass and takes for most of this explosive album.

1.83.0-ZVT5JOPMREYUQUDOJVHA76Q67A.0.2-0

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


WHERE YOU’LL FIND HER: In front of a Marshall stack, with her foot up on the monitor.

FILE UNDER: Grrrl power — heavy on the power.

LOWDOWN: With her crimson tresses and ethereal looks, Kim Wright looks like she’s about to serenade you a la Tori Amos. That is, until she cranks up her amp, rips into a power-chord riff, opens wide and rocks you like Courtney Love (minus the unhinged factor) on Troy, the first cut on her new full-length Everyday That Scares You. Even better, she keeps up the ass-kicking and name taking for most of the first half of this 10-track disc. After a while, sadly, the disc starts to run out of steam, with the post-grunge buzzsaw guitars, pumping beats and full-throated vocals giving way to slower and moodier fare that doesn’t connect as solidly. Once Wright comes up with a few more songs as powerful as she is, though, she’ll really be scary.
