The enchanting “Solace In The Wind” reached No. 1 the European Country Music Association’s chart (Belgium) in July, 2010. The tune, which was written by Hunt’s husband Steve, peaked at No. 37 on the Indie World Country Chart, which is the largest and oldest independent music chart in the genre. Recording industry executive Dale Kawashima, formerly of Giant and Mercury Records, named “Solace in the Wind” one of the Top Five Songs of the Month for September, 2008 on his popular website, Songwriter Universe. Additionally, the song landed on the 2009 Grammy ballot in two categories: Best Female Country Performance and Best Country Song. In 2009, Hunt’s infectious song “The Sun’s Coming Up Over Memphis” reached No. 10 on the New Music Weekly country chart, garnering an incredible 37,000 radio spins worldwide. "Luanne's voice is beautiful and haunting and reminiscent of a female version of Simon and Garfunkel,” said Bobby Jo Valentine of Music Worth Reviewing. “Her lyrics are powerful, her musicianship is solid, and there's simply a thousand things to love about this artist. She will be sure to go far." Luanne Hunt began pursuing a professional music career in the mid-1990s.
