Libbi Bosworth

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. 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.

In 2001, she released a follow-up album, Libbiville, dedicated to her mother Doris Jean. Of the album's thirteen songs, ten were original compositions, including South Texas Highway. The Austin Chronicle reviewed the album and also gave it four stars, calling it "well worth the wait".

Later life Bosworth's career began to suffer from a lingering medical condition that affected her vocal chords. In March 2013, a fire burned her home down and she lost all her possessions. She launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money, and sent her two children to live with Scaief, who by then was her ex-husband. In May 2019, Bosworth married David Anderson, a history professor who teaches at Louisiana Tech University.
