 LeAnn
Rimes has come a long way in six short years. Always mature beyond
her age, the 13-year-old girl with the Patsy Cline twang earned
two Grammy awards for Blue, her 1996 major label debut. RIAA-certified
multi-platinum, the album has sold 8 million copies and the title
track remains one of her signature songs. She followed that impressive
bow with a series of best-selling albums and hit singles (23 total
for a combined sales of 15 million units) like the chart-topping
“How Do I Live,” the longest running single on the Billboard
Hot 100, and “Can't Fight the Moonlight,” one of four
songs Rimes contributed to the multi-platinum soundtrack album
Coyote Ugly.
Twisted Angel, which was released in 2003, is a collection of
songs that reflects the emergence of LeAnn as a songwriter. She
co-wrote four of the songs which mirror the growth she has achieved
over the last few years. LeAnn Rimes has gone from that “little
girl with the big voice” to a woman who knows what she wants
and isn't afraid to fight to get it.
This year LeAnn released her first Greatest Hits CD, which is
a reflection of the first 21 years of her life and has been a
platinum seller all over the world. LeAnn Rimes will perform at
the Marriott Concert for Kids on Friday, March 26. She also accompanied
the Foresters Champions Across America kids to Washington, D.C.,
and will participate in many Celebration events.
