She may be a relative newcomer to Nashville, but Leah Turner has paid her dues, working for half a decade with collaborators in her home state of California before finally finding the right fit for her music in Tennessee. Co-written with Music City vets Carey Barlowe and Jesse Frasure, ‘Take The Keys’ is a pop/country anthem that celebrates traditional themes of carefree living, classic rock, and the open road.
