Today, we've got a fantastic lineup of fierce females who weren't afraid to sing their truth, from heartfelt ballads to sassy anthems.
We're kicking things off with some real powerhouses. Imagine Rose Maddox taking a bold leap with "Take A Gamble On Me," a testament to her gutsy style. Then we've got Kay Adams pouring out her soul with "Honky Tonk Heartache," a tune that'll resonate with anyone who's ever had their heart bruised. And don't forget Cathy Cass with her straightforward demand, "Wanted, A Man With A Plan"—we've all been there, right? We'll also hear Roxanne Waggoner's relatable "Average Woman" and Donna Darlene's playful "I Don't Know You From Adam."
Next up,. Alvadean Coker brings us "Insufficient Love," a classic that highlights her backwoods vocal delivery. And of course, we can't forget the pioneering spirit of Wanda Jackson with "Cryin Through The Night"—she always brought that rockabilly edge to her country sound. Goldie Hill delivers the timeless "Baby Blue," a track that perfectly captures a certain kind of wistful melancholy. And then there are two queens of heartache: Patsy Cline with her iconic rendition of "Heartaches" and Kitty Wells reminding us of the dangers of love with "Poison In Your Heart." These women truly defined an era with their emotional depth.
Finally, we'll wrap up with some more captivating voices that deserve a spotlight. Lois Williams offers a clever take on relationships with "From Miss To Mistake," a song that's both witty and poignant. Connie Hall brings us "Back To Loneliness," a tune that perfectly encapsulates that feeling of returning to solitude. Barbara Clawson tells us to "Turn Your Love Around," a powerful message of taking control. And get ready for Lynda K Lance with "Fool Of The Year" and Wanda Conklin's "You Didn't Stop To Say Hello," both showcasing stories of love's often-unseen complications.
And to round out this incredible set, we've got Linda Cassidy delivers not a cover of "Jolene," but her take on a classic tale of pleading for love. Carolyn Duncan explores the depths of infatuation with "What A Fool In Love Will Do." Betty Amos with Judy & Jean offer a cautionary tale with "Gotta Be Careful." And finally, Oneda Harding brings us "Love In The First Degree," while Debbie Dickey beautifully captures the feeling of being "Lost Bewildered And Confused."
