Where you’ve seen her: Thanks to her deep, soulful voice and striking looks, this sweet Carolina gal's self-titled debut record was one of 2004's top ten country albums.
Life and rhymes: “I look for lyrics that are real. I have to know someone who's lived the song, or to have lived it myself.”
Ranching out: “I'd love to reach the masses, but country is what I sing and what I love.”
Prettier woman: “Growing up, I was kind of chunky. It's hard to see pictures now and know that's me. I never thought of myself as the prettiest girl in class.”
