TRAILBLAZING WOMEN OF COUNTRY: FROM PATSY TO LORETTA TO DOLLY

Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton revolutionized country music and blazed a trail for future generations of female artists – and this International Women's Month, we're bringing their legacy to life! 

With their chart-topping hits and record-breaking sales, Patsy, Loretta, and Dolly wove threads of contemporary womanhood throughout the tapestry of country music, resulting in unprecedented commercial success and earning each a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. 

Patsy's assured contralto affirms that a woman can be both heartbroken and sure of herself at the same time ("Crazy," "Walkin' After Midnight"); Loretta Lynn's songs exalt the freedoms that can only be attained through bodily autonomy ("The Pill") and self-respect ("Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' with Lovin' On Your Mind"); and Dolly Parton demonstrates that a woman can climb the corporate ladder ("9-to-5") without ever losing sight of her roots ("Coat of Many Colors"). 

Trailblazing Women of Country features soloists Miko Marks, CMT's 2022 Next Woman of Country, and Nashville-based singer Kristina Train, supported by a 5-member all-female band.
