Linda ( now Kim ) Morrison and The Centaurs

Linda / Kim Morrison was born in San Jose California and grew up mostly in the San Diego area. She was the seventh of 13 children. The whole family was musical and the 8 youngest formed a group with the help of their mother who did live radio as a child. For several years, the little family band performed around the area. She got into her first rock band at the age of 13 and spent the next 4 years performing around southern California .

She moved to Nashville and worked her way into the recording studios and publishing companies on Music Row. As a writer, she has had cuts by Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Dickie Betts, Mickey Gilley, Ty Herndon, Conway Twitty, Mel Tillis, Johnny Lee, Vassar Clements, John Verity and many more.

As a background vocalist, she has worked with Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynett, Dickie Betts, Lynnard Skynnard, Hank Williams Jr., Sam Moore, Ray Charles, Carl Perkins, James Ingram, Peabo Bryson, Eddie Rabbit, Warren Haynes and many many others. She has had several record deals in the past but it wasn’t until she produced herself that her true artistry came to light in her newest offering, “Mixed Emotions.”

Putting the material together for Mixed Emotions was definitely a labor of love for me. As a producer, I was able to show how I see myself as an artist, not someone else’s concept of who I am.

I got the chance to record with some of the greatest players in the world including;

Warren Haynes, Jack Pearson and Joe Khoury on lead guitar.

Gary Talley and Casey Kelly on rhythm guitar.

Johnny Neel and Ronnie Godfrey on keyboards.

Dave Martin, Tim Loftin, Dave Pomeroy and Willie Weeks on bass.

Gene Houston, Lonnie Wilson, Tommy Wells and Vince Baranco on drums.

Terry McMillan on percussion.

Vickie Hampton, Johnny Neel, Ronnie Godfrey and Dora Morrison on background vocals.

The engineers were Mike Griffin, Tim Kish and Pat Hutchinson.

I was lucky to work with such talented co-writers as;

Johnny Neel, Warren Haynes, Casey Kelly , Gary Talley, Ronnie Godfrey and Wayne Perry.

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful work.

So here it is…Mixed Emotions. Hope you enjoy.
