If there was no such thing as music, Kimberly M'Carver would have been a poet; there's not a wasted word in her songs. Combine these exquisitely crafted verses with an unerring sense of melody and you have Kimberly M'Carver. Does great honor to the tradition of Texas singer/songwriters.

"Kimberly M'Carver - like the tender, beautiful voice of the Texas nightingale."
-- Jimmy Lafave

"M'Carver has an excellent, clear, very expressive voice which she uses to great advantage to convey the mood of her lyrics. Her presentation is so in-touch with the meaning of her songs, I'd wager that listeners who do not understand the English language will be able to feel the mood of each track nevertheless ... Breathe the Moonlight  is an impressive first album in all respects."

M'Carver is such a sweet, heart-grabbing singer and accomplished songwriter ... Her new "Cross the Danger Line" is simply one of the finest Americana albums of 2001

about "Breathe the Moonlight"

Kimberly's third album, Cross The Danger Line, was released in September 2001 on Fifty Fifty Music/Prime CD. The CD contains seven original songs by Kimberly along with Greg Trooper's "Ireland", Townes Van Zandt's "Niles River Blues", and the classic "Return to Me". The collection boasts an amazing group of musicians that include Aubrey Haynie (Faith Hill), Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett), Scott Neubert (Hal Ketchum,Trace Adkins), and harmonies by celebrated singer/songwriters Claire Lynch & Jim Lauderdale.

"...The Houstonite's soprano could have been developed by NASA; light and delicate as gossamer, strong and flexible as titanium, a marvelously nuanced instrument that, for all its gentleness and elegance, effortlessly dominates the proceedings. ... she's also a remarkable songwriter, whose folk-country has a similar dichotomy, combining poignant vulnerability with cool self-assurance ..."
-- John Conquest

Cross The Danger Line follows her extremely successful Rounder Records (Philo) releases, "Breathe the Moonlight" & "Inherited Road", which drew rave reviews, nominations (Best Independent Record, CA) & charted on Americana.

" M'Carver's got one hell of a way with words, and if a picture is worth a thousand of 'em, these ["Inherited Road"] tunes are closer to portraits than stories. Musically, she ranges from country-ish ditties to waltzes to border-flavored laments with an ease that tells you just how unhappy M'Carver must have once been cranking out Madonna at a bar mitzvah."
