I am a singer/songwriter who some have praised as the "Celine Dion of Country Music" for my vocal range and big-voiced ballads. You might know some of my songs like "Concrete Angel," "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" and "A Broken Wing." I was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1995. The Country Music Association named me Female Vocalist of the Year four times and the Recording Academy has nominated me for 14 Grammy Awards. When I'm not working, I like to spend time with the special people in my life, cooking for and entertaining my family and friends.
