The following segment confuses me:
"had already collected 76 traditional folk songs with the idea of making an album of folk covers, but meeting Bucky Baxter changed all that. Upon her arrival in America in June, Matthews handpicked Baxter, who had played lap steel guitar for Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams. Her debut album, Cockahoop, was recorded in seven months and appeared on Blanco y Negro in the UK in May 2003."
Why would meeting a guitarist change the fact that she planned to release a solo album - which, according to the above paragraph, she then does anyway?
Also - it doesn't specify what exactly she handpicked him to do - did he help write the songs or did he just play guitar on the album, or even something else?
I formatted the page by chronology. I also reduced the tone of promotional puffery and slimmed the lead. It appears that people involved with Matthews may have been puffing up the page, not too seriously, but it's worth keeping an eye out. Span ( talk) 07:49, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I have added correct informaiton about Ms. Matthews' schools, published on her websited and confirmed by WP:OTRS ticket:2014012310009205. This has already been corrected once by another OTRS volunteer, please do not put us through the embarrassment of having to explain yet again why Wikipedia insists on being "definitively wrong", as it is causing distress and annoyance toMs. Matthes and it really is a trivial thing. I alos removed, at her request, her father's occupation, as he is long retired and values his privacy. I hope I odn't need ot rmeind you that Wikipedia is not a tabloid, there's no pressing reason to include things people would prefer us not to unless they are clearly relevant to their public life. Deliberately including trivia that a subject would prefer we don't would be dickish in the absence of a storng reason to include, after all. Feel free to contacte me directly if you want to discuss this. Thanks, Guy ( Help!) 23:39, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

It is surprising that the article makes no mention whatsoever of the subject’s drug and alcohol issues. They are well documented, including in interviews she has given. [1], [2], [3], [4]. I’m also puzzled by the omission of basic biographical details, like her father’s profession, although I see this has been discussed, and her relationship with Marc Bannerman. [5] [6] Lastly, the article seems rather out of date. I shall refresh it shortly, unless there are policy-based objections to doing so. KJP1 ( talk) 13:37, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
