LeAnn Rimes

There are few singers who showed as much raw, young talent as LeAnn Rimes. Already an experienced vocalist before entering junior high, Rimes recorded her hit single “Blue” on her multiplatinum debut album of the same title at age 13. “Blue” was already a beloved classic to country music fans however, ever since Patsy Cline originally recorded the song in 1964. After Rimes’ nostalgic-yet-innovative remake, the public quickly named her Cline’s successor. But, as the saying goes, the student surpasses the teacher. It may turn out that the moonlight isn’t the only thing Toledoans can’t fight, as it may be hard to fight the urge to experience Rimes’ rich vocals live when she performs at the Hollywood Casino this summer. 8pm. $45.
