Suzy was the first Dollywood performer to find major country success, paving the way for Carly to follow in her footsteps. Hits like "Aces," "Letting Go" and "Drive South" delivered on the promise the CMA saw by giving Suzy the 1992 Horizon Award, now known as New Artist of the Year.
More than 30 years later, the Illinois native s still going strong. She released her latest album, Prayin for Sunshine, in November.
"It s really freaking me out that it s been 16 years since I did an album of original music," Suzy tells ABC Audio. "I ve been kind of going down the thematic kind of things with the Merle [Haggard tribute] record and the [American Folk Songbook]."
