says producer, Jerry Salley.
Referred to by Billboard Magazine as "One of Music Row's

Mind" on the Grammy award winning quadruple-platinum album
Traveller), Toby Keith, Sara Evans, Patty
Loveless, Joe Nichols,
Darryl Worley, Travis Tritt, Tracy
Lawrence, Neal McCoy,

more.
"I am grateful to have produced our 8th album in a row
contributing to her illustrious career. Gaining more and more
recognition and awards with every project, 'Let It Burn' is burning
up the charts as she continues to be one of the hottest and most
popular vocalists in the bluegrass genre in America and her native
Australia!"
