-rock behemoth with an unforgettable piano line that reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped the 22-year-old Milford, Penn. native sell 1.4 million copies of her 2002 debut album,Although Carlton has spent the past two decades consistently creating music and scored three more Hot 100 hits — including follow-up single “Ordinary Day,” which peaked at No.
Another thing that stands out [about 2002] is I got to meet Neil Young — one of my heroes, one of my parents’ heroes — and I got to play the Bridge School Benefit that year. He’s my hero to this day.

I think that there are questions posed by a group of artists, and then the next round of artists come in and answer those questions.
I was curious if you thought you were pigeonholed by the sound and style and success of “A Thousand Miles,” in terms of setting expectations for what listeners and labels wanted. How long did it take to get to that point? Was that a light bulb that went off right before you went independent, or had you been thinking about it for a while?
And it’s led to — I just kept working and putting one foot in front of the other, through all those weird sort of hardships and whatever traps I was falling into. I think that song has brought me incredible freedom. And if people still enjoy it, great. I don’t have to write another “Thousand Miles.” That’s never going to happen, there isn’t a part two to that song.
