LADY LIBERTY
CD REVIEW
WWW.FREIGHT TRAIN BOOGIE.COM
So Austin continues to amaze me with the wealth of musical talent living and working there.
Twenty-five years ago, Atherton would be working on a major label, her soft, soulful voice gaining fans by good-ol' word-of-mouth. Like Bonnie Raitt's best early albums Atherton is comfortable singing country, blues, and well country-blues.
Rich Brotherton, from Robert Earl Keen's band handles the production and the lead guitar. A kid from San Antonio named Mike Stevenson wrote all the songs and he's a killer songwriter who must either be awful humble or have a horrible voice.
The tempos and arrangements are varied and make for a very enjoyable and easy-going CD.

Leeann Atherton, one of the nicest and friendliest Texas southern belles you would ever want to meet, is now one of Austin's own singer/songwriter treasures.
This lady can sing the blues too!
Take a little South Carolina charm and add a big Texas heart; take a pinch of Janis Joplin's blues belting ability and free spirit; add a little Marcia Ball and Aretha Franklin for spice, plus an auxiliary of talented song writing friends.
Oh yes, don't forget to include a little Carolina beach music and you will have yourself a real sweet cookie of a singer ...
