Rescue Me (album) Rescue Me is an album by American country music artist John Rich, released in 2001. Though "Rescue Me" was released before Rich's album "Underneath the Same Moon", it was not recorded until two years later. Rich was inspired to record the album after he met Katie Darnell, a cancer patient at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee. Rich was visiting the hospital with a group of songwriters (including future Big & Rich collaborator Big Kenny) to sing Christmas carols for the children when Darnell offered to sing to Rich and Kenny. Darnell sang "Rescue Me", a song of her own composition, which impressed Rich and Kenny. They later asked for permission to record the song, which led to an album of the same name. The album was recorded at Sony/Tree Studios with 30 hours of studio time donated by the location. Though there was some local interest in the title track, specifically from Gerry House and WSIX-FM, the album was not released on a wide scale. Prior to her death in 2003, Darnell appeared with Rich on several national TV shows to play her song.
