Deana Carter

Deana Carter earned a place in country music history almost instantly: her 1996 debut Did I Shave My Legs for This? went five-times platinum, an extraordinary opening statement. What I love is the wit baked into that very title, a refusal to be polite or precious about a woman's real feelings. Born in Nashville as the daughter of singer Fred Carter Jr., she still took the long way round, studying rehabilitation therapy before returning to music, and rather than coasting on one massive hit she kept making records on her own terms across the following decades. That quiet durability impresses me more than the flashier breakout. She's a writer first, and it shows.
