I'm from Tullahoma, TN which is an hour south of Nashville, and I grew up and wanted to be like Garth Brooks, so I moved to Nashville when I was 18 to chase a dream.
Who's not a fan of Don Williams? He's the gentle giant.
Waylon Jennings and I had a lot of fun recording together.
I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven't gotten it done.
I was a big, big fan of Jimmy Burton. Anything with him on, I used to perk up and listen to it over and over and over again.
I'm just trying to be the next Trisha Yearwood.
I don't remember ever not wanting to be a country singer. Even as a little kid, that was my dream.

One of my all-time favorite country singers is a guy named Conway Twitty.
My mother met my father at a Roy Acuff concert.
I grew up in Nashville, born and raised. I'm a country girl, and I love country music. I had a dream I was going to be the first black female country music star, but then that wasn't the case.
I was a huge Garth Brooks fan.
My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.
There was something about Hank Williams, Jr. that I really latched onto from an early age.

The only thing I want to be known as is a country singer. I want people to hear it and go, 'That's country!'

Miranda Lambert! She not only has amazing music, but she is an awesome role model for females and rescues lots of animals!
I am a huge, huge Ronnie Milsap fan. I have been for a long time.
Most of the time in Nashville, you're so replaceable. Anybody can get another nice-looking guy to sing a country song.
