Her first album, Own Side Now, was released by Names Records in August 2010.^[2] Her vocal performance and lyrics have led to comparisons to Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline,^[1] and Iris DeMent.^[7] Claire Suddath of Time magazine named Own Side Now one of the Top 10 Albums of 2011, ranking it at No. 7.^[8]

Her next studio album, The Stand-In, was released on February 25, 2013.
