She was also a member of the trio Pistol Annies with Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley. Born in Texas to a police officer father who played in a local band, she started singing at high school and later performed in clubs in Texas. Her appearance on Nashville Star caught the eye of a record producer and she signed with Epic Records. Her debut single "Me and Charlie Talking" introduced her first album Kerosene, which topped Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart in 2005 and reached Number 18 on the Billboard 200. The title track went to Number 15 on the Hot Country Songs Chart in 2006. The album Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2007) topped the Country Chart and went to Number 6 on the Billboard 200, and Revolution (2009) topped the Country Chart and reached number 8 on the 200. Four the Record (2011) was Number 1 on the Country Chart and Number 3 on the 200, Platinum (2014) topped the Country Chart and the 200, and The Weight of These Wings (2016) topped the Country Chart and peaked at Number 3 on the 200.
