Suzy Bogguss

Suzy Bogguss In an industry filled with ambiguity, Suzy remains one of the rare artists who has managed to walk the line between critical acclaim and commercial success. Fans and critics alike have admired Suzy's vocal style, musicianship, and meaningful lyrics for nearly two decades. Suzy was raised in the small town of Aledo, Illinois. She sang in her church choir and music was plentiful in the Bogguss home. As a young adult, Suzy started strumming a guitar and singing -- performing wherever she could find an audience. She picked up a considerable following in the Midwest and started touring the country, driving herself from gig to gig in a camper truck.

In those days, Suzy sang and played swing and jazz songs like "Someone To Watch Over Me," "House of Blue Lights" and "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" together with her folk and country songs. And Suzy has long been part of the western music world, adding her voice to those of musicians Don Edwards and Michael Martin Murphey on western CD's.

"You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play," says Suzy Bogguss with a twinkle in her eye as she discusses her latest studio album Sweet Danger. It's a line from one of her signature songs, but it's also the philosophy with which Suzy managers her career.
