[@carlypearce6072]

TY, i am truly grateful

[@kyliepollert8341]

I just started paying attention to Carly's music, through her "29: Written in Stone" album. I like how she has a story to tell; she went through a divorce with Michael Ray, and is writing her thoughts and feelings down on paper, and questioning what happened, hence the current single "What He Didn't Do". Some of my other favorites include "Never Wanted to Be That Girl", with Ashley McBryde, as well as "Dear Ms. Loretta", with Patty Loveless. This was a well deserved award for Carly!
