Early life and education

Career

Merritt joined a band called the Carbines and played small clubs in the cities of Chapel Hill and Raleigh.[5] In 1998, the band released a 7-inch single, "Jukejoint Girl," and in 1999 the album The Two Dollar Pistols with Tift Merritt on Yep Roc Records .[6]

The record landed on the top ten lists for both Time and The New Yorker , and was called the best debut of the year by the Associated Press .[8] While touring to promote Bramble Rose, Merritt opened for fellow North Carolinian Ryan Adams , who had helped her secure her first management and record contracts.[9]
Her follow-up release, 2004's Tambourine , was produced by George Drakoulias and featured backing by Benmont Tench , Mike Campbell , Neal Casal and Don Heffington.[citation needed ] The album was nominated for a best country album Grammy Award in 2004.[10] She was nominated for Americana Music Association : Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year in 2005[11] Merritt's performance on Austin City Limits was released as a DVD on New West Records .[12] A sold-out concert at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina, was released under the title Home Is Loud that same year.[13]
