Cody Johnson released his version of this song this year, and it’s amazing…but we can’t forget about the OGs…let’s go back to 2002 when The Chicks released “Travelin' Soldier.”

And actually, they aren’t technically the “OGs” - Ty England is, he released his version back in 1999, and it’s great, but when The Chicks recorded their version, that’s when the song really blew up.

The song is about a high school girl and her love for a departing soldier, ending with the news of his tragic death overseas. The song reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles Chart, and critics argue that this song is one of the most powerful anti-war songs ever to top the country charts - because it was charting just a few weeks before the US invasion of Iraq.

Let’s go back to 1980 when Dolly Parton starred in one of the biggest movies of the decade, “9 to 5.”

Starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin - they worked together in the movie to take revenge on their sexist, egotistical boss - the film was a feminist-leaning comedy which centered around workplace inequality. Dolly actually wrote the song “9 to 5” specifically for the movie, which became an anthem for working-class Americans, especially women.

Nine to Five didn’t just make Dolly Parton a movie star, it expanded her image beyond country music, proving she could dominate film, pop charts, and cultural moments. The film grossed over $100 million and was one of the highest-grossing films of 1980, which was really impressive for a comedy led by women.
