Mary Chapin Carpenter
One of the most eloquent singer-songwriters in country music history, Mary Chapin Carpenter is equally comfortable playing arenas with her band or solo with her acoustic guitar. Carpenter grew up in Princeton, New Jersey and earned a degree from Brown University, then developed her songwriting playing small clubs in Washington, D.C. She signed with Columbia Records on the strength of her early recordings and secured her first Top 10 Country single in 1989 with “Never Had It So Good,” co-written with her co-producer John Jennings. That initial success led to Carpenter’s first ACM Award as the 1990 Top New Female Vocalist.
 

In 1991, her breakout hit “Down at the Twist and Shout” peaked at No. 2. and she carried that momentum into her fourth album, 1992’s Come On Come On. The collection featured hits “I Feel Lucky,” “The Hard Way," and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” and went on to sell more than four million copies. Carpenter was awarded ACM Top Female Vocalist Award that year as well. By 1995, Carpenter claimed her own No. 1 country single, “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” and had written a Top 10 hit recorded by Wynonna (“Girls With Guitars”). Carpenter has also had success writing with other artists, including "Sally's Pigeons” with Cyndi Lauper, "No Fear” with Terri Clark, and "Where Are You Now” written with Kim Richey and recorded by Trisha Yearwood. Over the course of her acclaimed career, Carpenter has sold more than 16 million albums, won five GRAMMY Awards with 18 nominations, including her most recent album One Night Lonely, nominated for Best Folk Album in 2022. In 2012, Carpenter was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, one of fifteen women to have received the honor at the time.

K.T. Oslin Top Female Vocalist 1988

K.T. Oslin surprised almost everyone when she became a Country Music sensation in her 40s with the career-defining 1987 hit, “80’s Ladies.” But for mature Country listeners who recognized their own lives in her lyrics, it was clear that she arrived right on time. Born in Arkansas, Oslin grew up in Houston and eventually moved to New York City. Although she landed a dancing role on Broadway and toured colleges as a solo performer, Oslin felt drawn to songwriting. Gradually making inroads in Nashville, she placed songs with Dottie West and Gil Davies before landing a last-chance contract with RCA Records.

At 44 years old, Oslin released “80’s Ladies” to critical acclaim. Although it peaked at No. 7 at Country radio, her recording won a GRAMMY and prompted her to be named the 1987 ACM New Female Vocalist. Known for telling stories in her innovative, cinematic videos, Oslin also picked up an ACM Award for the “80’s Ladies” music video. Her other beloved originals include “Do Ya’,” “I’ll Always Come Back,” and “Old Pictures,” the latter recorded by the Judds.

A year later, Oslin collected 1988 ACM trophies for Top Female Vocalist and Album of the Year for This Woman. She also won two GRAMMYs for the bittersweet ballad, “Hold Me.” Before bowing out of the spotlight in the early 1990s, she placed “Come Next Monday” at the top of the Country chart for two weeks. A 2018 inductee into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Oslin passed away in 2020.
