The Winston-Salem Journal reports that Loveless will perform Friday night at the Carolina Theatre. She's promoting her new album, "Sleepless Nights." It's a collection of country songs that have significance in her life.

 

The self-imposed exile began in 2005, when her mother-in-law died and her brother had a stroke. That same year, her record company pulled her album from the shelves because Loveless said it was released with copy-protection in the CD that could damage computers.

 

Since then, she's recorded vocals for a song on a Bob Seger album and recorded a song for a charity album.
