I like Patsy but Leann's the best IMO.....

I don’t care for women country singers too much, especially the older twangy ones. Lee an Womack is good, Marion Morris has a song or two, Leann Rimes, Martina McBride are good.

Connie Smith is the real deal!

She was sure cute in her younger days as well...

Ah, Hanco, you're missin' out.

I've listened to Kitty Wells all my life. I have endure her on SiriusXM Willie's Roadhouse now too...

I'm sorry, but I just don't think she can sing worth a darn.

Don't care much for Dolly Parton's singin' either.

Agreed......

Post the gals you do like?

Besides my Wife and Mrs Lynn, my most favorite gal........

Not my all time, but since she went out of her way to introduce herself to me in Winnipeg years back, I'll plug this young lady.

I like bluegrass, and real country music, so, Patty Lovelace and Emmy Lou Harris are as good as it gets.

My second favorite....

Yes:

The oldies are great.

To All,

ImVho, NOBODY will ever surpass PATSY CLINE. - EVER.

yours, tex

Patsy Cline......the best female country singer.....ever. No one else even comes close.

Anita Carter.....most underrated female country singer.

Shania Twain.....maybe the best looking one.....ever.

Bout high time you got here SamO, we been havin' a party.

Richard, tomorrow morning I will be listening to Grass Roots Gold on the local radio.

Awesome old songs from 8-10AM.

Statewide radio show.

That is a good one.

Number three.

Patsy was the First Lady of country & always will be but damn dat emmylou...

Sheldon is a moron

Yeah Allison is amazing but this song is amazingly written & performed here:

Connie Smith. Anita Carter. Tammy Wynette.

Patsy Cline, Chrystal Gayle.

MM

I don’t follow contemporary country too much, but the women I do hear are so far ahead of the “men” it’s sad.

Modern male country is the saddest genre going today. It’s beyond pitiful. I blame Garth Brooks.

I like that song she wrote about me.

Only Miranda on the radio.
Others most have never heard of.



Kylie Frye



Kacey musgraves.
m

Another good one from Roseanne.....

Truth^^^^^^^^^

Thank heavens we have an oldies C&W radio station even if it is AM.

Geez ya old fart. Get pandora. It’s free. Roll your own radio.

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes...How funny is this...LOL

Old fart!

Hell, I’m only 43 going on 19.

That was a great Album!

I don't listen to this new crap they call "Country" music nowadays. My favorite female Country Artists include: Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Roseanne Cash, Suzy Boggus, Leeann Rymes.

Of the old classic Country female singers, it's hard to beat Patsy Cline, Crystal Gail, Linda Rhonstat, Emmy Lou Harris, & Barbarra Mandell.

Mama Maybelle, June Carter. Wanda Jackson. I have always had a thing for Emmy Lou. One I picked up a few years back on Americana was Kasey Chambers; Aussie with a good back story.

Well then. Fugg the radio.

Get your some Red Dirt radio on Pandora.

Randy rogers. Jason Boland. Cody Canada. Wade Bowen.

Then some reckless Kelly. Mickey and the motorcars. Turnpike troubadours. Mike and the moonpies. Cody jinks. Whitey Morgan.

Listen to all that and I’ll give you some more.

Jim,

When we gonna see some more Big Jim and the band videos?

Time for some Mary Chapin Carpenter and friends..

I will try to do a better job this spring. Have another gig lined up.

I think that was directed at me.

Free's my favorite price. I'll google pandora.......

And yes....I'm an old fart but I do know how to google.........sorta.

The Quebe Sisters - "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie":

My kinda girl..

Also sung by Don Meredith in the Cowboys' huddle (much to the displeasure of Tom Landry).

YOUR FLAG WAVING GAY IF U DONT LIKE THIS ...

No one has mentioned Janie Fricke yet.



She's past her prime here at a Country Family Reunion, but still good.



She did a ton of duets..

I saw Charly McClain earlier. I like a lot of her stuff too.





She did some duets too. Probably most famously with Mickey Gilley, but I'm kind of partial to this one with Johnny Rodriguez

Although she was more pop sounding than country, she was considered a "country" artist.. Sylvia.

Then there's Tanya Tucker..

I heard this one one night on the radio and really liked it. Supposed to be a true story about her "U.S.M.C." bumper sticker and how she got some flack for it..

I'm not a huge Emmylou fan, but I've always loved this song (even though I don't drink, go figure).

Everyone has heard her sing "Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A.", but I'm kind of partial to this one..

Mom had a bunch of Lynn Anderson records growing up, so I listened to a lot of her 40 years ago. Here's some besides "Rose Garden".

Mel's daughter, Pam Tillis. Always liked this song. Hadn't heard this live version before..

Deleted. I saw someone else already shared it above.

Waylon Jennings woman..

I can't believe that Tammy Wynette has not been mentioned. She had a lot of good songs, and I really like the duets with George (Possum) Jones. miles

Debra Allen..

Wynonna FTW....haha.

Tammy and Patsey on the oldies,Allison Krause on newer.

Juice Newton..

Lacey J Dalton..

Someone already mentioned Barbara Mandrell, these were a few of my favorites..





On a CD of hers that I have, she said she got a letter from a prisoner who said he loved his wife very much, but would never be with her again. He said he liked this song. (It really puts it in a sad and different light from that perspective).

I saw that some don't appreciate Dolly Parton, but here are a couple that I found interesting. This one seems like it would be hard to perform..



And I was surprised how well she and the Oak Ridge Boys (who are one of my favorites) harmonized in this clip..

Someone mentioned Tammy Wynette, and yes, she was without a doubt one of the Top 5 female singers of all time. It is, in a way, unfair to compare the singers from the early years of country music to the singers of the later years, because of the way country music has changed. Take Kitty Wells, for instance, and her style, versus Miranda Lambert of today. In my opinion, Wells was just as good because I prefer the music of the 40's-70's period as opposed to today's crap. "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" is a country classic, and Kitty Wells is also the number 6 ranked country female singer of all time according to Billboard's magazine rankings.

None of the women of today, or yesterday, will ever be as good as Patsy Cline. If you don't agree with that, then you either don't listen to country music, or else you just want to be different. Lorretta Lynn, Wanda Jackson, Connie Smith, Skeeter Davis, Jean Shepherd, Melba Montgomery, Anita Carter, Norma Jean, Tanya Tucker......the list could go on, but these were all gals who actually sang "country" music, not today's crap that Nashville is trying to pass off as being "country."

I love em all but for someone new, Go to utube and check out Teea Goans or the Church Sisters. Don't know how to bring up pictures. Thanks, Jerry

I don't listen to radio stations that play the newer music. If I can't find old country or talk radio, I turn the damn thing off. miles

Here ya go.

Emmylou Harris for me. Breaks my old, wicked heart. Kills me that she was performing regularly in local clubs when I was young, and I was too dumb to know it.

More bluegrass than country, but Alison Krauss is amazing, and what a band. Another bluegrass gal that's coming on and is a killer musician as well is Sierra Hull.

Rachel Potter is a fantastic singer who is wasting her talent IMHO singing modern country (which I detest for the most part). She's got tons of stuff on YouTube. That girls's been in a couple of Broadway shows and can literally sing anything well. Hot little number too.

Almost forgot this one. Heard her interviewed on G. Gordon Liddy and perform this one.



I know Dottie West did it before her, but I still like Jo Dee Mesina's version anyway.

Buddy your hit real close to home with that one, I know her well.

Love that song. There's a 20 minute Youtube video where she talks about that song and that she sang it live and never recorded it. When she was convinced to record it, it was only released for AFN in Europe and it eventually made it's way over here and totally blew up. She never wanted it released on mainstream radio and had no promotion for the song. I think she donates profits from the song to veterans causes too.
My wife has a pretty good voice and sang this song one night in karaoke bar. Totally unknown to her a couple older Marines in the bar, with tears in their eyes bought her a couple rounds of drinks.

Wright is a carpet muncher.... But single best girlfriend is good!

The most beautiful voice.

And shes still beautiful.

Friday night went and listened to "The Chicks with Hits" which is Suzy Bogguss, Terri Clark, and Pam Tillis. What a concert. The three of them sat on an elevated platform with their guitars and tambourines and shakers for almost two hours just singing their songs. It was one of the most awesome concerts I have been to.

Country & rock and Roll
