Many of those hits were written in a secluded cabin near Nashville that she owns specifically for writing songs. She spoke with Country Countdown USA’s about her little getaway: A few years ago, I bought some cabins that were outside of town and really old and kind of tucked away. It’s just beautiful there. There are two cabins, one’s like a house, and the other is more like an office or work space. I decided to turn that into a writing cabin. So I got some equipment, a mixing board, some speakers, microphones, couches and comfy stuff, and I’ve written a lot out there. Brett James & Chris DeStafano and I were out there to write ‘Something In The Water.’ – Read more at Country Countdown USA
