Leah Blevins heads into 2025 with new music in mind

The first time you hear Leah Blevins sing, you immediately notice a voice similar to Dolly Parton. As if that weren’t enough to want to hear more, she belts out influences from Martina McBride, Loretta Lynn and even Stevie Nicks. And she’s poised for a new album later in 2025 that could be the project that vaults her even higher in the country music scene.
Blevins joined Frank and Falls on Roots Music Rambler to talk about what’s coming in 2025. She heads to the studio in February to add to an already released single (Hundred Different Sides). The new project is the first of a two record deal, so the future is bright.
Blevins was raised in Sandy Hook, Ky., a tiny little burg in the hills of Northeast Kentucky. It happens to be the home of another great country singer: Keith Whitley.
We explored her musical journey, talked about her debut album (First Time Feeling) which came out in 2021, her influences, family and more.
Plus, Falls reports back on Brent Cobb’s first Ryman Auditorium headline show and both he and Frank talk about 2025 live show plans they’ve already got in the works. And as always, they share their Pickin’ the Grinnin picks for new music for you to explore this week.
