She got her first cut
when country star Lorrie Morgan recorded “Shakin’ Things Up” and made it the title track of her
album. Jones recorded it herself and became the first independent female artist to hit No. 1 on the
Texas Music Chart, a spot she held for five weeks.
She was featured in the national television series Troubadour, TX, starred in the Texas Western
movie Courage and sang a duet with Willie Nelson at his world renowned 4th of July Picnic. She
became a celebrated Kerrville New Folk Finalist and toured internationally, including
appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival, CMA Music Festival, Magic Town Music Fest in
Mexico, Country Rendez-vous in France, and Country Gold in Japan.
As her career exploded, other artists reached new heights with her songs. After winning NBC’s
The Voice, Craig Wayne Boyd released her song “My Baby’s Got a Smile on Her Face,” which
debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart.
