People ask me all the time what this music sounds like and I say, "I have no idea what to tell you."
The comments that I hear back run like this: "Like Twin Peaks in the South - Creepy Bluegrass. If Brian Eno played for Patsy Cline."
My personal favorite and our motto: "Spooky - but in a good way!"
Its all about obsession, murder, love and the sweltering heat and lazy days of the south under all that.
Check it out!

Smoky, twangy, dark and romantic.
author: Metro Pulse Magazine
Longtime Knoxville scenester Leslie Woods' debut CD doesn't sound like a debut CD, which is credit both to Woods' accomplished country-gothic songwriting and the strength of her supporting players. Woods sings in a knowing smoky twang that complements her spooky melodies and dark lyrics. Most of the songs have an air of desperation and longing—they're capital "R" Romantic, spilling over with passions dangerously poised between love and hate. Woods works similar territory as alt-country divas like Neko Case and Kelly Hogan, but with an Appalachian wild streak. "Baby Mine" is a murder ballad in the classic tradition (although the murder itself is left to our imagination), and "Clayton County" invokes mountains and back porches without sounding trite. It's not all doom and gloom—the album ends with "Lullaby," which finds Woods crooning gently, "The good things in life are mine."
