Jaden South are a rock-folk duo (Jessica Draper and Deborah DeLoach) from Nashville, Tennessee. Although there are hints of their influences (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles), I felt that their melodies and sounds more like modern day Heart. And if you thought they sound like the Indigo Girls, that's because their debut album, Leading the Horse was produced/mixed/engineered by "two-time Grammy-winner" David Leonard.
At one point in their career, the two girls moved to New York City to try and make it in the big time - as most musician often do. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out and the band went back to Nashville - where they originally met in college. The song they wrote about their journey is in the song "Glitter Town".
Maybe they can dedicate "Glitter Town" to New York, when the band returns to the Living Room on Morrissey's birthday, May 22nd to perform? It should be good to see.
Anyroad, while most of the album is pretty mild/mellow, the few up-tempo tracks really stood out ("I'm Leaving", "In Her Eyes", "Norma Jean"). Between those songs, I dig the pop-country sound song about movie-icon and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, but was also finding myself toe-taping to lyrics like "I gotta get up, get out, get gone. I'm leavin'" on "I'm Leavin'".
You can pick up Leading the Horse on amazon.

The melodic duo-singing (mostly Draper on leads and DeLoach on backup) combined with realistic lyrics ("I think I'm fading fast, feeling like it'll never last/I'm only getting older and older" to "It's difficult to say how hard it's been/I call on Jesus to hold my hands") makes this song my favorite off the 10-track album.That was written as a breakup song to New York City. I had a tumultuous time initially, but living there turned out to be the most important experience of my life thus far, and it inspired many songs..
