In an era of grandstanding artistry and pop celebrities who change with each new trend, Mattea has remained grounded in who she is: a folk-based roots performer and a well-written song's best friend. She's let her own instincts be her guide rather taking cues from what other artists are doing.
Her hits include "Love at the Five & Dime" (# 3, 1986), "Walk the Way the Wind Blows" (# 10, 1986), "You're The Power" (# 5, 1987) , "Train of Memories" (# 6, 1986), "Goin' Gone" (# 1, 1987), "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses" (# 1, 1988), "Untold Stories" (# 4, 1988), "Life as We Knew It" (# 4, 1988) , "Come From the Heart" (# 1, 1989), "Burnin' Old Memories" (# 1, 1989), "Where've You Been" (# 10, 1989), "She Came From Fort Worth" (# 2, 1990) , "The Battle Hymn of Love" (# 9, 1990) , "Few Good Things Remain" (# 9, 1990), "Time Passes By" (# 7, 1991), "Walking Away a Winner" (# 3, 1994), "Nobody's Going To Rain On Our Parade" (#10, 1994), "455 Rocket" (#3, 1997)
