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?

Sign your posts. It's not clear at all what the writer was trying to say. From what I know (and this is without verification, or I'd add it to the article), Baxter produced and co-wrote the album, which was all original contemporary country songs, not traditional folk covers.
