Album Notes

Kina Lankford is a small town girl with big city dreams and talent as big as Texas. In today’s world, many of Country Music’s biggest stars have never even seen a cow, but Kina was born and raised near the legendary cow town of Abilene, and those West Texas roots have influenced both her and her music. Kina’s music is an interesting mix of traditional country style, with a modern country edge, and brilliant songwriting.

Kina is also an experienced relief carver of Mesquite and Cedar. She inherited her “Woodworking Gene” from her father Terry, and she often works as a woodcarver at her father’s renowned woodshop and custom furniture store Lankford’s Mesquite Products in Abilene.

Kina combines the woodworking she learned as a child growing up in her father’s woodshop, with a Degree in Fine Art from Abilene Christian University, to create beautiful, unique and original works of “Wood Art” and custom-made furniture. These unusual artistic and creative skills are also evident in her music and her songwriting. Her original songs are expertly crafted and chiseled from hard, West Texas wood and the grit and dust of an old worn out pair of boots.

Copenhagen Kisses is Kina’s debut album release, and it introduces her as a unique young recording artist with a classic country voice and incredible talent, as well as a songwriter with vision and insight beyond her years. This debut album was produced by Tommy Detamore, one of the finest producers in today’s Texas Music Scene, and it also features two duets with Kina’s friend and fellow Abilene Christian University graduate, Aaron Watson, another young rising star in Country Music.
