3 of Hearts

Blaire Stroud, Katie McNeill, and Deserea Wasdin first sang at a funeral; They were also students at L.D. Bell High School; later, they cut a demo tape which was eventually sent to RCA Nashville, who signed the trio to a record deal in 2000. Their debut album, also titled 3 of Hearts, was released in March 2001. Two of its singles ("Love Is Enough" and "Arizona Rain") entered the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, peaking at No. 43 and No. 59 respectively. However, 3 of Hearts did not enter the Top 40 on the country music charts until early 2002, when their rendition of "The Christmas Shoes" reached a peak of No. 39. ==Discography==
