about
Originally from Redondo Beach, California Kris quickly made a name for herself in the 90s in the South Bay and then in the rest of Southern California and across the U.S. and in Europe. She released two albums, “Old, New, Borrowed And Blue” and “Breaking The Rules” played in New York, Chicago, Nashville, Memphis and then disappeared.
And now here we are, “Kris Wiley” - produced by Carla Olson who has also produced albums by Jake Andrews, Barry Goldberg, Paul Jones, Chubby Tavares, Phil Upchurch, Joe Louis Walker, as well as individual tracks by Sugar Blue, Rocky Burnette, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Taj Mahal, Otis Rush, Kim Wilson, Brenton Wood.
For the record her inspirations were the Kings (Albert, B.B. and Freddie) as well as Albert Collins. A favorite quote, “I like jazz but it doesn’t affect my soul like the blues.”
A few reviewer observations:
“Wiley is the most promising female blues guitarist to emerge since Bonnie Raitt,” Los Angeles Times.
“You should check her out not because she’s a female guitarist but because she’s a damn good player,” Vintage Guitar Magazine
“She made my jaw and everyone standing next to me just drop to the floor… There is an energy so strong… blazing, ripping intense sounds. The tone, the feel, the choice of notes are truly authentic. A true love for the blues.” Lou Laurenti, Southern California Blues
“There’s a new star on the R&B music horizon,” Ronald Vaughn, Rock City,

Country Supper
by Robert Connely Farrsupported by 5 fans who also own “Kris Wiley”
Truly a work of beauty, another masterpiece in Southern blues & rock. Robert has that swagger, not even bragging, but it's straight talent. This man is a god-damned prodigy, harkening back to even Robert Johnson, if I must be honest. Each rotation is just a joy.

Way Down Here
by Robert Connely Farrsupported by 4 fans who also own “Kris Wiley”
The first album was recorded as Mississippi Live. It was billed as a solo album, but had the sound of a full band. The recording name now has & The Dirty Dirty added. And you can tell. This now definitely sounds like a full band. There is more electric guitar and less banjo. This is more blues rock than bluesy folk. Still great, though.

Dirty South Blues
by Robert Connely Farrsupported by 4 fans who also own “Kris Wiley”
Goddamn, Robert, you are the man! Some damn fine southern blues, unlike any I have experienced. The replay value on this son of a bitch is outstanding. I believe I'm on my 10th spin after what a week? Dark lullabies to calm the disturbed & disturb the comforted I have to say, I have never heard a version of Killing Floor Blues quite like Robert's. Only one of the many reasons I keep coming back to this 💎
