Kathy Mattea's bio is a publicist's dream. Originally from Cross Lanes, West Virginia, Kathy began playing guitar in her early teens, performing in church. After moving to Nashville to be a songwriter, she got her first job as a tour guide at the Country Music Hall Of Fame. She was singing demos for songwriters when her voice caught the interest of the folks at Mercury, who signed her in 1983. Since then she has made four albums, yielding five top ten singles, has been named "Top New Female Artist" by both Billboard and Cashbox, and been nominated for a Gravy and numerous Country Music Association awards. "Goin' Gone," the first single off her current album, Untasted Honey, went straight to #1, and the new single, "Eighteheels And A Dozen Roses" is headed up the same. road. Kathy's records have featured material from songwriters as diverse as Elton John, Rodney Crowell, even the old Count Basie /Jimmy Rushing standard, "Evenin'," each getting a special Mattea interpretation. Her deep, expressive voice is not your usual Country "girl singer" voice, and producer Allen Reynolds lets it take the foreground, supported by a house full of acoustic pickers. I spoke to Kathy a week before her Valentine's Day marriage to songwriter Jon Vezner. Amid a hectic touring schedule and wedding preparations ( "I'm up to my eyeballs in invitations! "), Kathy reflected on the successes of the past year.
