What a happy find! AJ Lee.

Still in high school. Tremendous Bluegrass vocals from California. Rounder Records should be talking to this girl. Now.

Her emotive wail is pristine. Whew!

What an endless source of fascination American music can be. Gram Parsons wrote "Hickory Wind" on a train ride from Florida to California in 1968, according to Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hickory_Wind

This is just one of the reasons my fav sat radio channel is Outlaw Country.

Lots of Byrds / Gram Parsons played on there regularly. He was a great influence on quite a number of artists.

I wish those girls in the video great success.

One of the girls is on the path to success, now. Molly Tuttle often accompanies AJ Lee singing harmony and playing guitar. Apparently, Molly is serious about having a future in music. She is enrolled as a student at Berklee College of Music.

Here is a video of Molly performing one of her own compositions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KKS8ADMYcA
