Suzy Bogguss
Episode 278: Suzy Bogguss started playing and performing on a hand-me-down guitar from her sister in small-town Illinois. After a few years making a living out west playing at ski lodges, she moved to Nashville, where she carved out a special place in 1990s country music. Amid a time of diversity and vibrancy in the format, her sweet, folky voice took flight when she found the right songs, including the career-makers \u201cSomeday Soon\u201d and \u201cOutbound Plane.\u201d She\u2019s toured steadily ever since, though recordings have been selective since 2000. During the pandemic though, she took on her first album of new material with last fall\u2019s Prayin\u2019 For Sunshine, the first where she\u2019d written all of the songs. In this hour, we cover every key stage of this award-winning career.
