The Lunabelle's, Eden's Edge show lots of promise

From Arkansas With Love: Eden's Edge will open for Brad Paisley this summer

What do Arkansas and New York have in common, besides being states in which Hillary Clinton lived?

They both have excellent up-and-coming country music groups that hail from those states.

How catchy is the new song, "Amen," by Eden's Edge, about a conceited girl breaking up with one of the town's nicest guys.

Someone is celebrating it. And we should all be celebrating Eden's Edge, and their arrival upon the country music scene.

And who thinks of New York City and country music? Unless, it's Garth Brooks/Central Park 1997, not many folks.

But The Lunabelles are more country, instrumentally and vocally, than many bands from the Heartland. They could be the new Dixie Chicks, minus the controversy.
