While working as a waitress in Philadelphia, Little performed with local bands and independently released an album in 2006 titled Drawing Circles before being signed to CBS Records in early 2008. She was subsequently chosen as the opening act for Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and T Bone Burnett on their North American Raising Sand tour. Her first album with CBS, Perfect Time for a Breakdown, was released on May 27 of that year. As part of her deal with CBS Records, several of her songs have been featured on CBS programs such as NUMB3RS and NCIS.

She performed another track from that album, “Spaceship,” in a sequence shot in New York’s 34th Street subway station for an episode of CSI: NY. Little continued touring through 2008 and 2009 with, among others, Chris Isaak, Al Green and Jonny Lang. Perfect Time for a Breakdown reached #48 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
