Podczas studiów związała się z ruchem folkowym w Waszyngtonie, śpiewała w klubach i w kampusach. Na początku lat 80. poznała gitarzystę Johna Jenningsa, z którym rozpoczęła występy i przygotowała próbne nagrania. Taśma z ich piosenkami dotarła do wydawnictwa Columbia, które zaoferowało jej w 1987 kontrakt płytowy.
Pierwsza płyta Hometown Girl ukazała się w tym samym roku. Debiut oraz kolejny krążek - State of the Heart - zyskały uznanie w recenzjach i były często odtwarzane przez radio studenckie. Ten umiarkowany sukces zwrócił uwagę specjalistów z branży country na utalentowaną blondynkę. Academy of Country Music uhonorowała ją tytułem najlepszej nowej wokalistki.
Kolejna płyta Shooting straight in the Dark z 1990 przyniosła nagrodę Grammy za najlepsze wykonanie wokalne piosenki i przygotowała grunt pod największy sukces piosenkarki, płytę Come on Come on z 1992.
Piosenki z tego nagrania - I Feel Lucky, Passionate Kisses, He Thinks He'll Keep Her - znalazły się na wysokich miejscach list bestsellerów, a sama płyta przekroczyła nakład 2 mln egz. i przyniosła kolejną nagrodę Grammy. Stones in the Road - piąty krążek został nagrany w towarzystwie Trishy Yearwood, Lee Roya Parnella, Shawn Colvin oraz takich muzyków, jak saksofonista Branford Marsalis, pianista Benmont Tench i perkusista Kenny Aronoff - zawierający bardziej folkowe piosenki również przyniósł sukces komercyjny - kolejne dwie nagrody Grammy.
