for the love of music story of nashville
by James Christopher Monger Country siren and accomplished singer,songwriter Jessi Alexander was born in Jackson, TN, in 1972 and raised simultaneously in Memphis and Georgia (her parents divorced when she was three). Alexander -- named after outlaw country singer,songwriter and wife of Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter -- found comfort in music immediately, relying on the sounds of Motown, bluegrass, country, and rock & roll to help ease her through a problematic home life. She sang in bands throughout college, eventually dropping out to pursue music full-time, eventually finding herself in Nashville as a working backup singer and staff writer for Warner-Chappell. In 2001, after a friend submitted a demo tape to the NARAS Grammy Showcase, Alexander -- who had no prior knowledge of the submission -- found herself a very surprised winner, an achievement that helped the young singer get signed to Columbia in 2003. Her debut, Honeysuckle Sweet was released in March 2005. (更多)
