"I grew up in a very rural part of southwest Virginia, and we didn't have cable or anything, so my family played music," she recalled. "By the time I could talk, they were teaching me about playing the guitar. There were a lot of different styles of music that we listened to, starting with bluegrass, obviously. I lived just over the hill from Ralph Stanley. There was also a lot of country music, especially the older style that influenced me. Music has been in my life since I can remember. I can't remember ever not wanting to do it," she says, admitting that her Appalachian upbringing helped to make music a very important part of her make up. "Being from that area had a lot to do with it, I'm sure."
