Deirdre Hughes

Deirdre Hughes, a 23 year old native of La Habra California, explodes onto the Country Music scene with a compelling series of powerful and distinctive vocal performances amid an amazing collection of previously unrecorded songs by lyricist Bernie Taupin. The writing partner of Elton John returns to Country with this follow up to his Grammy winning collaboration with Willie Nelson, Mendocino County Line." This mesmerizing song cycle revolves around Mr. Taupin's tribute to the great lady of Country in a song entitled "Turn Back The Hands Of Time, Patsy Cline." It evokes the majesty of his classic tribute to Marilyn Monroe, the No.1 selling single of all time, "Candle In The Wind." To create the vocal melodies for a body of work by arguably one of the greatest living lyricists of the modern era is a heady challenge for any vocal artist. To accomplish this heroic task as the debut release of a recording artists career is an achievement of distinction. The album features performances by the most prominent musical artists in Country, including Dennis Caplinger, Greg Leisz, Chet McCraken, Will MacGregor, and Ronnie King.
