The Watson Twins是一支來(lái)自路易斯維爾的獨(dú)立小隊(duì). 她們是貨真價(jià)實(shí)的孿生姐妹,不似其它的組合, The Watson Twins以其親密無(wú)間的默契來(lái)演繹每一首歌曲. by Mark Deming Twin sisters Chandra Watson and Leigh Watson are daughters of the Deep South whose music crosses the divide between folk and country traditions and contemporary roots music.
