Libbi Bosworth (born in Dallas, Texas) is an Americana and alt-country singer-songwriter and recording artist from south Texas who rose to prominence in the mid 1990s. Childhood Bosworth was born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Galveston, Texas, the youngest of six. She was raised in a musical environment. Her father was a trucker who moonlighted as a honky-tonk singer, and her mother worked at an area country music station. Early musical career Bosworth left home at the age of 16 to pursue a music education and career. She turned 17 in Beverly Hills, and worked for a short time at Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios. In her formal education Bosworth trained with rock and jazz at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. She also performed in a punk band early on. Inspired by a Rosanne Cash tape, Bosworth went to Galveston, and then returned again to Los Angeles, which featured a burgeoning roots music scene with Lucinda Williams, Mandy Mercier, and Dwight Yoakam, among others. While in Los Angeles, Bosworth met her first husband, guitarist Bill Dwyer, and they began playing country music. One of their groups included future Austin honky-tonker Roy Heinrich. After a brief stay in Salt Lake City, the pair settled in Austin in 1991. Two years later they relocated to Nashville. After her father's death in 1994, Bosworth and her husband returned to Central Texas. National airplay After returning to Texas, she returned to her country roots music style as well. In 1995 she broke into national radio airplay with her contributions from two compilation albums, Austin Country Nights ("Baby, Maybe Then I'll Love You") and True Sounds of the New West ("It's Late"). In 2002, Bosworth recorded "Palm of Your Hand" for the "Happy Birthday Buck: A Texas Salute to Buck Owens" compilation LP. Solo album period In 1997, she released her debut album, Outskirts of You, containing 11 songs, of which 8 were original compositions. One of the songs on the album, "Up all Night", had been covered by Kelly Willis. The album received 4 stars from the Austin Chronicle, in a review which also said the album "serves notice that her name must be included when you discuss Austin's major country figures." The album was dedicated to her father T.P. "Bubba" Bosworth. Around that time, she met her second husband, Sam Scaief, in Austin. He was a FedEx delivery worker
