Kelly Willis, Brennen Leigh, Melissa Carper
When Kelly Willis, Melissa Carper, and Brennen Leigh – accomplished singer-songwriters who have forged unique lanes in country music – joined forces as a power trio, there was no more appropriate labeling themselves than Wonder Women of Country.
Willis scored country hits with her solo albums after signing to MCA Records. Leigh has cultivated a following resurrecting honky tonk that attracted collaborators like Asleep at the Wheel and fans in Rodney Crowell and Guy Clark. Carper, raised on Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash, “sounds like a voice from a bygone era . . . evoking the cool, smoky croon of a lounge singer,” according to Rolling Stone.
“A delightful country buffet, Willis, Carper, Leigh pulls on the superpowers of three of the genre’s ever-dwindling purists,” wrote the Austin Chronicle about their debut EP.
Now, they’re together, merging their superpowers.
