Loretta Lynn. I love her down-to-Earthness, her grit, and her honesty. Her voice is distinctive and she sounds great with just about anybody. The Fleetwood Mac fan in me sees her as having the same qualities that make Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks favorites (and Bekka, if you figure in that she's not the only well known musician in the family). Furthermore, her duets with Conway Twitty alone make her a worthy choice. I think Patsy had the better voice, but even her sad songs sounded happy. I'm not really a big fan of Tammy, although "Golden Rings" is a killer song.
