The Jenkins is an American country music group comprising Nancy Jenkins and her daughters, Kacie and Brodie. The trio charted two singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Blame It on Mama" at #34 and "Getaway Car" at #38, the latter of which was later a single for the duo Hall & Oates as well. An album was recorded for Capitol but never released.
Nancy Jenkins and her daughters began to perform together when she started to produce the annual talent show at Kacie and Brodie's school. When Kacie was in sixth grade, the three performed The Judds' song "Guardian Angels" in a school production. A songwriter who attended the show persuaded Nancy and her daughters to pursue a career as a country music trio. The three then recorded a demo tape, with Nancy writing some of the songs.
In 2003, the trio was signed to Capitol Records, working with singer-songwriter and record producer Rodney Crowell on their self-titled debut. "Blame It on Mama" was released as an advance single in early 2004; the song was a minor Top 40 hit on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs chart. The single was followed by the release of a second single, "Getaway Car", although the album itself was never released. "Getaway Car" was originally recorded by 4 Runner on their album Getaway Car, and would later be a hit on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts when Hall & Oates recorded it. The Jenkins left Capitol in 2008.
