Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton revolutionized country music and blazed a trail for future generations of female artists. 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.
Trailblazing Women of Country, will entertain and inspire audiences during this pivotal moment in our nation鈥檚 history, featuring soloists, Miko Marks, CMT's 2022, "Next Woman of Country"; and Nashville based singer, Kristina Train, supported by a 5-member all-female band.
Cline, Lynn, and Parton harnessed country music鈥檚 rich storytelling tradition to offer their uniquely empowered鈥攁nd unmistakably female鈥攑erspective on issues faced by women of their day. Their shared legacy of musical excellence, earthy glamour, and unapologetic authenticity continues to resonate with listeners of all ages and backgrounds in the 21st century.
Patsy鈥檚 assured contralto affirms that a woman can be heartbroken and sure of herself at the same time (鈥淐razy,鈥 鈥淲alkin鈥 After Midnight鈥); Loretta Lynn鈥檚 songs exalt autonomy attained through contraception (鈥淭he Pill鈥) and self-respect (鈥淒on鈥檛 Come Home A-Drinkin鈥 with Lovin鈥 On Your Mind鈥); and Dolly Parton demonstrates that a woman can ascend the career ladder (鈥9-to-5鈥) while never losing sight of her roots (鈥淐oat of Many Colors鈥).
Through their singular voices and artistry, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton defied restrictive gender norms, proving that women can be at once beautiful and strong, vulnerable, and powerful.
Women of Country appears by arrangement with IMG Artists and is produced by Eli Wolf.
