SINGER/SONGWRITER – This week, we are proud to present KAY WILDER.  If you really like Country music, you must have heard Kay Wilder on your local country radio stations.  For those who have never heard of her, Kay Wilder is a country artist best known for her albums "Blue Ridge Dream" and the recently released "Caffeine and Country Music."

Songs like "Dime Box TX" and "Come Out and Dance" from each of these albums have reached the top five on the U.S. country music charts, surpassing artists such as Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire.

Each of Wilder's albums displays the words "Warning: This CD contains Real Country Music." Wilder's albums have a more rustic and traditional sound that has not been heard in years. Her inspiration stemmed from the early music of Willy Nelson, Jimmy Buffet and Dwight Yoakam.

While everyone has their own musical preferences, anyone can appreciate the initiative Wilder clearly possesses. Not only does she write her own storytelling lyrics and music, but she also designs the graphics for her albums and produces the music from her production company "She Cooks Too Records."
