Kimosabe (album)
''Kimosabe'' is the seventh album from Canadian singer and guitarist Kim Mitchell. The album was released in 2000. This is the only Kim Mitchell album that failed to gain any real commercial success; however, this does not bother Mitchell. It was written after his divorce and he still occasionally plays a song from the album, telling audiences "you may still be able to find this album at Walmart in the bargain bins". It also did not help that the label that Mitchell signed with went out of business shortly after the album's release.
