AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Bomshel

 


Artist:Bomshel

Song:Fight Like A Girl

Album:Fight Like A Girl


The country music girl group Bomshel had their biggest hit with the 2009 single Fight Like A Girl. After one album and three EPs, they split up. Kristy Osmunson moved from Idaho to Nashville in 2002. Originally from Lexington, KY, Buffy Lawson was a backup singer and aspiring songwriter. Bob Gaudio spotted her and she appeared on the 1996 Neil Diamond album Tennessee Moon. She sang on the duet Marry Me. Buffy and Kristy met at Fan Fair in Nashville. They played local clubs and that led to Curb Records signing them. They released the 2006 EP Bomshel Stomp. They were getting radio play and were on tour with their own bus. But Buffy decided it wasn't for her and eventually she moved back to Lexington. She has recorded a couple of albums and continues to write songs. She was replaced by 19 year old Detroit native Kelley Shepherd. The album Fight Like A Girl was released in 2009. The single reached #30 on the Country Singles chart. Kristy and Kelley wrote most of the songs usually with a third writer. Fight Like A Girl was co-written by Bob Regan who is in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He co-wrote several songs on the album. The album was produced by Curb house producer Chuck Howard. After the 2012 EP Halleluy'all was unsuccessful, Bomshell split up. Kristy went on to form American Young with Jon Stone. They released a 2016 album on Curb. It looks like Kelley left the music business. Here's the video for Fight Like A Girl by Bomshel.
