What folks are saying about Blytheville!
"Your song is making the rounds here in Blytheville. Thank-you so much, it really makes all of us appreciate the special place that we live. I am glad to know that Blytheville holds such a special place in your heart. I hope that you will be able to visit us some time soon. We will certainly roll out the red carpet for you. We would like to play your song during Spring Time on the Mall so the whole city can hear it." —Dana Overman, Executive Director, Main Street Blytheville
"You may be Blytheville's best kept secret. I was born in Blytheville in a little community called Half Moon. […] I went to school at Dell and graduated in 1969. [...] If you get a chance to visit again let me know and we will meet for coffee at the Dixie Pig and talk about Blytheville in the 60's. I wish you could come visit sometime during Springtime on the Mall [...] or our Fall event the Chili Cook-Off." —Jacky S., Blytheville, Arkansas USA
"Just heard your song for the first time and I love it! I bought a copy for our son who was born in Blytheville. At that time, my husband was a second lieutenant stationed at BAFB. Your song brought back so many happy memories. Thank you." —Cathy B., Middletown, New Jersey, USA
"Wow, you really touched me this morning! Brought a little tear to my eye when I read your website :) … I love your song too! I'd like to put together a compilation CD of Brat songs...yours is definitely one I'd like to include on that." —Marc Curtis, Webmaster, Military Brats Registry
"I am a native of Blytheville and I couldn't think of a more beautiful voice to represent our area. Leigh has a unique voice, exceptional talent and a beautiful personality to boot. Look out Sheryl Crow, there is a new gorgeous small town girl!" —Alexis H., USA
"I love the song. It is so real and so is Leigh Thomas. I love her voice! She is an awsome, real person that sings about her life experiences. I love her song Blytheville,and will definitely buy her CD." —Denise B., USA
"'Blytheville' is very dear to my heart. This CD means a lot to me. I can relate 100% with every word in Leigh Thomas' Blytheville. My father was in the Air Force and we lived around the world, but Blytheville will always be home to myself as well. Then though I don't get back there very often it's still considered home. The first time I heard the song Blytheville, I teared up thinking about that small town in northeast Arkansas. Thank you Leigh." —Kevin F., USA
"'Blytheville' feels like it was written just for me. I was born there and still have family there to this day. My oldest friends in the world are still there, as well. Leigh Thomas sings with so much heart, it makes me want to visit every time I hear it. I feel like she knows exactly how I feel about my hometown. Everyone listen and you'll love it!!!!" —Jessica, USA
"Awesome! I hope Leigh's song Blytheville is a big hit. Soon as I heard it I thought it was awesome. I highly recommend it to everyone. It brings back very fond memories of my stay in Blytheville in the 60's while serving in the Air Force." —Jerry S., Retired USAF
"THANK YOU!!!!!! Native of Blytheville. Moved away 22 years ago and lived all over. You guessed it. Back home to Blytheville to finish my life where it started. Your song is beautiful. Can't begin to tell you how it touched my heart. Blytheville IS home. You have a wonderful, God given, talent! You should be given the *KEY TO THE CITY* award. Will always keep the light on for you and yours. Just come home when you can. God bless and keep you safe." —Carolyn S., Blytheville, Arkansas USA

Love this song...
author: Hilda Elliott
I absolutely love this song! It has that authentic country sound that is so hard to find these days. Although I have never been to Blytheville...it takes me back to the very small town that we went to every Saturday when I was a child. I love the easy flow of the music and the lyrics are wonderful. Leigh...you rock girl !!
