Her fiddle and clear singing have kept her in the bluegrass world for decades, though she's recorded with plenty of people outside it.
For a good frame, listen to 'I Can Let Go Now' and then 'I Am a Man Of Constant Sorrow.' They show the range without making a fuss about it.
She started performing at local festivals as a child and released her first album at fourteen. By 1990 she was working with producer Don Was on 'I've Got That Old Feeling.' Songs like 'I Can Let Go Now' show how she handles quieter material, while her version of 'I Am a Man Of Constant Sorrow' reminds you she can dig into something rougher.
She put out albums like 'Now That I've Found You' in 1995 and 'Forget About It' in 1999, and kept recording into the 2000s. There was a lawsuit from a former band member in 2007 over royalties, which got settled, but mostly she's stayed out of the kind of drama that follows some careers.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
