Oslin initially performed as a folk singer with Guy Clark and then moved to New York where she performed as a chorus girl on and off Broadway. She soon began doing advertising jingles which led to appearances in a number of television commercials.

Her songwriting talent was recognized and she began writing songs performed by Dottie West, Gail Davies, Sissy Spacek, and The Judds.

In 1987, after a brief run with Elektra Records, she broke through with RCA Records and became the first female songwriter to win the Country Music Association Song of the Year award for 80s Ladies and earned the Female Vocalist of the Year honors and a Grammy Award for the song.
