Love some Harris and Cline. I'm a big Reba fan, too, though, but good solid list of ladies.

That was in no particular order... Sunny Sweeney is a really good independent act at the moment too.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Her "whispering angel" voice gets old quick. Love her "honky tonk" voice but she does not use it enough.
And her skill as a musician is even better than her singing. She was famous as a fiddle prodigy before anyone heard her sing.

If you consider Linda Rondstadt to be "country" (which I do) then she is as good as any of them.
My other favs would be Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline. Those two are "pure country" instead of "pop/folk/country" like Rondstadt.

Any of you who are big country music fans should check out the documentary Ken Burns just did on PBS.
Interesting history of how mountain folk music morphed into so many different genres (Bluegrass, Texas Swing, Southern Rock, the "Nashville Sound", etc)

Agreed... I really like the stuff she did with Union Station that had Dan Tymenski on vocals.
Also it's harder to limit this to 5 than I first thought... It feels wrong to not have Mabel Carter or her daughters on my list, and if any of you aren't familiar with Kasey Musgrave right now do yourselves a favor.
