What's the skinny on alt.country chick Libbi Bosworth? This card-carrying Texan tried to shuck the aw-shucks at an early age by flirting with the bright lights of Hollywood, New York, Boston and Nashville before realizing her heart and music would always belong to Texas.

Country music in the hearts of her mother and father, Libbi not only listened to country music as a child but in many ways lived it (we'll save that for the book, assuming Anna Nicole signs on for the movie). Then rebellion came, as it always does in youth, and Libbi found herself playing her first gig at New York City's The Dive. Replete with peace signs shaved into her hair and seven ear piercings, that rebellion eventually made way for a return to her mother's and father's music. Thankfully, she only has the ear piercings to show for it; it was long before the tattoo and tongue splitting rage. Whew.

Part alt.country gal and full-time mother, Libbi presently lives a stone's throw from San Antonio and Austin, and is recovering from a vocal cord injury which limits her singing to the shower. In the meantime, she writes short stories, changes diapers, and plays the role of soccer mom--in a Ford F-150.
