Liane Edwards and the Dust Raisers - Homewrecker

It's a long way from Indian Trail, North Carolina to Varetz, France -  but Country Music is a thread that joins them.  

Leigh Ann Abernethy started singing in the Indian Trail Baptist Church in the 1970s.  After she graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in French, she headed across the Pond and settled down there as Liane Edwards.  She's been singing with the Dust Raisers for 30 years, writing a bunch of her own music.  She was voted Songwriter of the Year in 2017 in the French Country Highway Awards.

But even though across the sea we find that while you can take the girl out of Carolina, you can't take the Carolina out of the girl.  This song only has 463 views on Youtube which is a crying shame.  It's the real deal.  Formidable!


Good stuff.  Like I said, this is the real deal.  Or as her web site puts it (en francais), Liane Edwards est un shot de whiskey dans un monde de Coca.  Endorsed.
