Your Top 10 Country Female Artists
 

So whats everyones favorite country women? Heres mine in random order

DOTTIE WEST--underappreciated and long forgotten :( a true Bob Mackie slut in her day. Wish she would of worn less clothes in the 60s too. I mostly favor her late 70s/80s material only. My FAVORITE song of hers of all time is off her last studio album "Just Dottie" in 84 called "Aint Nothing Like A Woman(To keep a woman off of your mind)" Why this wasn't a big hit then I dont know, her live versions of it are so uptempo and rocking. Anyone could record it today and make a HUGE hit out of it.

Gretchen Wilson
Martina McBride
Wynonna & Mom
Jo Dee Messina
Reba
Yes if you want to call her country Shania
Dolly
Tammy Wynette
Tanya Tucker
Lorette Lynn

I pretty much like everyone, but these are my favorites. I like her but Im not a HUGE Trisha Yearwood fan, but she has to be one of the nicest people Ive ever met before. I also can't get enough of Miranda Lambert and her Kerousinne video lately!

1. Dolly Parton
2. Maria McKee, when she's country
3. Lucinda Williams, when she's country
4. Emmylou Harris, when she's country
5. Jessi Colter
6. Loretta Lynn
7. Patty Loveless
8. I don't think I can come up with any more, unless kd lang counts when she was country and also Patsy Cline

Dolly Parton
Loretta Lynn
Lucinda Williams
Patsy Cline

That's about it. They're the only female country artists I can stand. I can't do country except the old stuff (some of it, like Johnny Cash), and alt-country, like Wilco. Never really dug it.

Only a few...
 

Jamie O'Neal

Miranda Lambert (Saw her open for M&G in July 2004 before her rise to the bigtime...Definitely able to entertain without the usual vocal theatrics, She can play the hell out of the guitar.)

Dolly Parton

Overall I am not into female vocalists that much these days (Never really been in the first place).

I only have two:
Reba McEntire
Tanya Tucker :xoxo:

Mageboy, do you watchTuckerville?

Yes, I love every second of it. I grew up in the area she lives. So watching it in CA always puts a little homesick tear in my eye :).

I only have one: Reba. :)

Can only list two, both of whom also appeared on my Top Ten Favorite Female Musicians list

Bekka Bramlett
Terri Clark

No one can touch Emmylou. That voice is indescribable and her recorded material is amongst the best that country and alt-country has to offer. Her new song on the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack is certifiable proof that she's as good today as she was thirty years ago.
