Discography
Her 12-track debut album LOVE LETTERS was released Nov 14, 2000
on Warner Bros. Records (Cat: 47744 2). It produced four singles, none of which
charted. Satcher wrote or co-wrote eleven of its twelve tracks.
Billboard magazine said with
the album, "intelligent lyrics meet powerhouse vocals and passionate
performance" calling the combination "lethal". Allmusic wrote
"Satcher brings to life her own heartbreak (the man she had hoped to marry
marries someone else) in ten of the 11 mostly gloomy tracks she wrote or
co-wrote....Everybody likes a good cry every now and then, but, unfortunately,
Satcher kinda just makes you feel sorry for her. Still, Love Letters is worth
at least a listen".

Leslie
Satcher is a fifth generation Texan. The daughter of a strong
hearted single mother and granddaughter of cotton sharecroppers and pioneers,
she is no stranger to hard work and perseverance.
Born in 1962 where the Chisolm Trail and the Red River cross, Leslie grew
up singing in the churches and schools of Paris, Texas alongside her baby
sister Jeannie Winn.
In 1989, during a short trip
to Nashville, a friend prompted
Leslie to record her voice over the tracks of country standards at The Barbara
Mandrell Museum. That was all it took! Just four weeks later she was crossing
her beloved Red River in a $1,000 Chevrolet dragging a U-Haul trailer with an
ironing board strapped to the back. If her story sounds like the beginning of a
country song, it was. After several "day jobs" in "Music
City", Leslie's talent as a songwriter was recognized by a friend from
church, Guy Penrod of the Gaither
Vocal Band, who encouraged her to show her work to friends Larry Strickland and
Naomi Judd. It was Naomi who helped
her hone her skills into a more commercial form and then introduced her to
guitarist Don Potter who was starting a new publishing company.
After a Sunday night show at
the world famous Bluebird Café,
Leslie teamed with accomplished father and son songwriters Max D. and Max
T. Barnes. A writing contract with the then new publishing company Island
Bound Music ensued. Seven years of cuts by artists such as Joe Diffie, Sara
Evans, Lee Ann Womack, Wade Hayes, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Pam Tillis, and
Willie Nelson helped Leslie take the next step in her career.
Jim Ed Norman of Warner
Brothers Records Nashville saw something in the talent from Texas and gave her
the chance to record her first project "LOVE LETTERS". Leslie and her dear friend, producer Luke
Wooten, turned in a critically acclaimed album that established her as one of
the leading singer/songwriters in the country music industry.
Meeting the people who find
something of meaning in the songs Leslie Satcher believes are nothing short of
gifts from God.
