[edit] Biography
Nancy Jenkins and her daughters began to perform together when she started to produce the annual talent show at Kacie and Brodie's school.[2] When Kacie was in sixth grade, the three performed the Judds' song "Guardian Angel" in a school production; a songwriter who attended the show persuaded Nancy and her daughters to pursue a career as a country music trio.[2] The three then recorded a demo tape, with Nancy writing some of the songs.[1]
In 2003, the trio was signed to Capitol Records, with country music singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell as producer.[1][3] "Blame It on Mama" was released as an advance single in early 2004; the song was a minor Top 40 hit on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs chart.[1] The single was followed by the release of the Jenkins' eponymous debut album, as well as a second single, "Getaway Car". "Getaway Car" was originally recorded by 4 Runner on their album Getaway Car, and would later be a hit on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts when Hall & Oates recorded it. The Jenkins left Capitol in 2008.[4]
