[1] The first song she ever sang was Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues," which she continues to perform in her live shows to this day.

After graduating from River View High School in 1997, Peck formed her own band that performed at festivals and other events.

While in Nashville, she met Clay Myers, a publisher who signed her to a deal as a songwriter with Barbara Orbison's Still Working Music.

Also in 2006, Peck took part in a duet with fellow country singer Jack Ingram on his 2006 album Live: Wherever You Are, titled "Never Knocked Me Down," which was an audio excerpt from the CMT program Outlaws 2005.

Titled "Bad For Me," the single (which was co-written by Australian country singer Sherrié Austin) was intended to be the lead-off to an upcoming second album.

"Bad For Me" failed to reach the Hot Country Songs Top 40 (number 46), however, and the second album's release date was delayed until late 2008.

The single, however, failed to chart altogether, and Peck parted ways with Big Machine shortly afterward.

On October 18, 2007, she was a last-minute choice to sing the national anthem before Game 5 of the American League Championship Series between the Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians.
