Career
After spending years performing as a Folk singer in clubs around the Washington, DC area, Carpenter signed with Columbia Records who re-packaged her as a Country artist. After a couple of moderately successful albums, she finally hit it big with the 1992 album Come On, Come On. The album sold more than 4 million copies and won her a Grammy Award. Since her commercial peak, Carpenter has continued to release albums and actively works to support a variety of charities.
