About Kim Kim McLean, North Carolina's Appalachian angel, sings with a heart haunted and blessed by the mountains of blue smoke where she was raised. Cherokee-Irish roots bring a special truth and emotion to her music, of which she has lived every note and every lyric. She has written thousands of songs and had over two hundred of them recorded by artists like Tim McGraw, Lee Ann Womack, Trisha Yearwood, Jennifer Hanson, Eve Selis, Shana Morrison, The Martins, Vestal Goodman, Kathie Lee Gifford and more. Her songs have been heard on J*A*G, West Wing, and Hope & Faith (which included a guest spot for her as well). Kim Patton-Johnston was the name she has written under for years. Her song honors have included a Dove Award for Song of the Year, NSAI's Gospel Song of the Year, and an ASCAP Award for "Beautiful Goodbye." What a blessing to have your own songs recorded...but when they are your own life...there comes a time, when you want to sing the songs that you have lived. That point came for Kim at the recording of her most recent CD. "Happy Face" is a revival of her joy and and a reclaimation of her own being. For the celebration of the release, she has decided to let go of her past in love, and use her birthname once again. Kim McLean has found her Happy Face! Currently residing on a high ridge overlooking the Harpeth River Valley west of Nashville, she writes music, and finds healing and peace in the horses, dogs, and cats that also call Big Sky Heaven Blue home. There in that peace lies the truth that God truly does know and wants us to have the desires of our heart!
