With the release of her 1989 major label debut, Somewhere Between, Suzy quickly became one of the key artists that defined those golden days of '90s country. She scored a string of Top 10 singles with country radio staples like Outbound Plane, Drive South, Hey Cinderella, Letting Go and Aces. Her 1991 album was certified platinum. In addition, she scored a trio of gold albums and notched more than 3 million sales.
On her latest offering Lucky, which she produced with her husband, songwriter Doug Crider, the singer comes full circle, returning yet again to her early inspiration - Merle Haggard. "My very first song on the radio, Somewhere Between, was a Haggard song," says Suzy.
On Lucky, a collection of songs all written by Haggard, the award-winning singer makes the country rebel's compositions her own, reinterpreting classics like The Bottle Let Me Down, Silver Wings and Today I Started Loving You Again from a female point of view.
Suzy has released ten albums for Capitol Records, one certified platinum and three others, gold. Eight of her singles have cracked country music's top 5. Suzy is the recipient of a GRAMMY award as well as several awards from the Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, CMT, and ASCAP. Her songs have been heard on television shows and in commercials. Suzy is a frequent guest on National Public Radio's A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.
