SONIA LEIGH - 1978 DECEMBER (LP)

Sonia Leigh 1978 December on LP

The songs on 1978 December, Sonia Leigh's Southern Ground Artists debut, range from the boozy barroom sing along of "Bar," a throwback redolent of the less well-behaved Nashville of yesteryear to the soulful Muscle Shoals shuffle of "I Just Might," the acoustic groove of "Virginia" to the first single "My Name Is Money," a bright, brash track that gives new life to dusty soul rock with nods to Joan Jett and Sheryl Crow.

Georgia troubadour Leigh has a lot in common with one of her mentors, Zac Brown, who signed her to his Southern Ground Artists label. Leigh has been a part of Brown's musical family for several years now, having met the singer/songwriter in Atlanta musical circles. Leigh is an authentic songstress with southern grit and a weathered drawl and 1978 December embodies southern resolve at its finest, illuminating her sophisticated talent for blending country, blues, soul and rock into a genuine, powerful sound. Like everything else she's done, 1978 December is the sound of Leigh expressing her soul.
