Liz Davis is from Madison, Mississippi. She has a touch of southern twang when she talks. She says she likes fishing. She likes riding four-wheelers for no reason. “I might be a fireball,” the 25-year-old says. On The Voice, you know what’s coming. A female country artist who’s likely to land on Team Blake. Liz…
