"Wow!!!! What a fantastic album. Superb vocals, excellent mixing/mastering, and wonderful production on these cover songs. Kinda reminds us of LeAnn Rimes early in her career :-) We are featuring 5 of the songs off the CD on our current playlist..."Suspicious Minds", "Long Gone Lonsome Blues", "Before The Next Teardrop Falls", "Heartaches By The Number", and "Unchained Melody". The mainstream country charts and radio stations should definitely pay attention to Leah,as we predict it is only a matter of time 'till she gives Carrie Underwood a run for the money! Thanks for sharing your music with us Leah, and good luck in your carrer. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays."
