Luanne has a voice so clear and lovely, you could be forgiven for thinking it has been marinated in gold leaf and royal jelly."

Music Reviewer

"All of the aspects of "Solace in the Wind" are without flaw and are truly beautiful. To my mind, the most impressive work here is in the writing. The lyrics and melody have a familiar style, but are wholly new. Your roots are showing, and they are indeed deep in the sweet soil of American Folk music.  You deserve a worldwide audience. I unreservedly love what you've done."

"Solace in the Wind" is a beautifully crafted tune with an outstanding arrangement and a stellar lead vocal, accompanied by excellent vocal harmonies.  This is as close to perfection as it gets and a real treat to listen to."

Terry Hart
Music Reviewer 

"I love it ("Solace in the Wind").  Luanne's voice is amazing and the lyrics work perfectly. The male vocals that come in don't over power her at all and she comes through with confidence that most professional singers lack."

PATSY'S LOST HOLIDAY CLASSIC

Patsy Cline was heartbroken she missed out on recording what might have become a holiday classic. Forty-eight years later, American Classic Recordings artist Luanne Hunt releases "Christmas Without You," a song commissioned by Patsy Cline in 1960.

“I’ve always believed if Patsy would have recorded ‘Christmas Without You’ it would have become a holiday standard,” said Lawton Jiles, who co-wrote the song with Buster Beam. “It’s the kind of Christmas song you hear once and want to sing along. It’s very simple, but the simple songs are usually the ones people love the most.”

LUANNE HUNT REACHES NO. 1 ON INDIE MUSIC CHARTS

Los Angeles - Luanne Hunt, an acclaimed indie folk and bluegrass artist, reached the No. 1 spot on the Indie Music Folk Charts (www.indiecharts.com) the week of January 6 and continues to hold the position.

The Southern California resident’s recently released CD “Breaking Through” has been drawing attention from fans, critics and radio programmers worldwide. The project features eight original tunes, as well as covers of the 1772 hymn “There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood,” and the 1968 Simon and Garfunkle hit “Scarborough Fair.”

“Breaking Through” was produced by Eric Uglum (Alison Krauss, Ron Block, Cherryholmes, Nickel Creek, Sara Watkins and Ralph Stanley).

“I was blown away by Luanne’s CD “Breaking Through,” said Peter Day, editor of the Hesperia Star Newspaper in Hesperia, CA. “Everything from the production to the song choice is first rate. It’s a project to be extremely proud of.”

Hunt began performing, writing music and building her fan base in the mid-1990’s. She sang everywhere from county fairs to coffee houses to churches. In the early 2000’s, Luanne ventured into the recording studio to produce “Lost In Your Love,” a CD of 10 self-penned Christian songs. The project garnered rave reviews from critics and fans.

“After listening to Luanne’s beautiful CD, all I can say is ‘Wow!” said recording artist Al Jarreau.

Riding on the success of “Lost In Your Love,” Hunt released four more independent CDs: “I’m So Happy,” “Moving God, Moving Mountains!” “Chapters and Verse,” and “He Was There.” Various singles from all of the projects have received airplay on radio stations in the United States and Canada. Additionally, “I’m So Happy!” has become a fan favorite on the Internet with nearly 2,500 downloads.

Hunt recently produced her first music video, “The Miracle In You,” a track on “Breaking Through.” The video is featured on the American Music Channel (www.amercianmusicchannel.com), where it reached No. 26 on the site’s Top 100 charts the week of December 16.

This Spring, Hunt is set to embark on a U.S. tour with her band, California Standard Time.
