Lyla Rae Hightower was born in a little nowhere town outside Llano, Texas — the kind of place where the road looks longer on the way out than the way in, and where the cicadas are only drowned out by the Friday-night band warming up at the local saloon. Her mama waited tables there. Her uncle ran sound. Lyla learned half her repertoire sitting under a booth with a Dr Pepper and a spiral notebook, copying lyrics off beer-soaked napkins while the house band rattled the floorboards.
By fifteen she was fronting the county-fair stages; by eighteen she’d out-sung men twice her age with a voice that could swing from smoke-scarred rasp to a full-throttle wail. There’s Joplin grit in there, sure - but it’s filtered through wide-sky Texas twang and a stubborn streak that won’t quit. She’s independent to a fault, allergic to anything manufactured, and she insists on writing at least one verse of every song she sings - even the covers. The stories about her starting bar feuds by accident are mostly true, and the ones that aren’t are close enough.
That’s the truth of Lyla Rae. She's in it for The Long Ride.
