Kimberly Freeman, known as the singer and guitarist of One-Eyed Doll.
About
"SLEEP": RELEASED MAY 9, 2009
Every song is a dreamy eulogy in this new sleep-scape masterpiece. Kimberly Freeman, more known for her rock and roll band, One-Eyed Doll, sets aside the electric guitar and bares her darker, sadder solo side as she walks you through a pure and honest approach to grieving.
From the orchestral, "Sleep", to the slide guitar, banjo and mandolin-ridden, "Kill Me Please", to the Flamenco-flavored, "Learn to Fly", to the bare-bones guitar and vocal, "Jeremie", this album paints a beautifully textured, haunting picture of Kimberly mysterious past.
Fans of folk, goth, classical, choral and more will cherish every song on this well-rounded, delicate and soulful work of art.
Produced by Jason Rufuss Sewell in Bastrop, Texas and released May 9, 2009 independently by Kimberly Freeman Productions.

"She may be the front-woman of the Austin Music Awards “Best Punk Band 2009”, but those who follow Kimberly Freeman know she’s capable of so much more. With the album Sleep, she definitely doesn’t disappoint. Once again, Kimberly defies genres. She is, above all else, a musician. Setting the tone with the opening title track, she draws the listener into her world. On the surface, this album seems to be about loss, but it blooms into so much more. Lyrically rich and wonderfully orchestrated, Sleep pulls you into a journey of the human heart. Again she teams up with producer extraordinaire Jason Ruffuss Sewell, and the pair hit an absolute home run with this album. Apparently, songwriting is second nature to Kimberly. She gives voice to the feelings of grief that we all experience. On “Learn to Fly”, Sewell’s Latin rhythms and slide guitar accompany Freeman’s brilliant voice in a song ultimately about hope. “Kill Me Please” is about giving up one’s former life in order to pursue that which is most important. “Out to Play” asks the painful question of what might have been had a loved one done things differently on one fateful day. Haunting and elegant, Sleep will remain in the mind long after the last track ends. "

A Note From Kimberly
You can now read all of the lyrics to Sleep, Live on South Congress, Monster and Hole HERE.. There's a music player on each song's page, so you can listen as well.
You're likely to drown
But the air's not as thick as the sin I found
In New Orleans.
Rainbow necks on drunken girls
I hope there's no place in the world
Like New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
I took a walk in a crowded town
I saw a dark boy get beaten down
I watched him turn to a reddish brown
In New Orleans
I held his hand and I sang my song
I was lying when I told him there was nothing wrong
I won't be back for sometime long
Not in New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
