[edit] Music career
The band went to record their first release The McClymonts in 2006 at the Rocking Horse Studios in Byron Bay with producer Steve James. It was released on June 5, 2006 and it peaked at number forty on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in 2006.[1] The success of the EP lead to 'The Outback to the Beaches Tour', with fellow country singer Lee Kernaghan, and gave them a chance to show their new music to audiences nation wide.[2] On August 16, 2006 the girls performed at the ARIA Hall of Fame Night at The Regent in Melbourne performing the song "Delta Dawn" by ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Helen Reddy. "Something That My Heart Does" was the first track released from the EP and was a hit on Australia Country Music Radio Charts peaking at number three and nominated the girls at the 2007 Golden Guitar Awards for "Best New Talent" and "Best Duo/Group".[2] "Baby's Gone Home" was the second and last song released from the EP and became their first song to reach number-one on the music and radio country charts.[2] They also won the Jayco Country Music Award 2007 for Best New Talent.
In February 2007 the girls went to Australia and Nashville to record and write their first studio album. In Nashville they wrote and recorded with writers such as Monty Powell (Keith Urban), Eric Silver (Dixie Chicks), Trey Bruce (LeAnn Rimes), Nathan Chapman, Steve Diamond (Lonestar) and Frank Myers. In Australia they wrote with Rod McCormack and recording artist Shane Nicholson. The album was released on November 12, 2007 and peaked at number thirty-seven on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.[3]
