Women in country music have had a profound impact on so many people, more than just their music, but the lives they lived and the messages they delivered.
Nashville music critic, songwriter, and artist development consultant Holly Gleason delivers a masterpiece with her book Woman Walk the Line: How the Women in Country Music Changed Our Lives from Maybelle Carter, Brenda Lee, and Dolly Parton to Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, and everyone in between.
this work of art is a compilation of stories about 27 women in country music written by musicians, journalists, music critics, and family members that these amazing women inspired. Rosanne Cash’s Eulogy in June Carter Cash: Eulogy for a Mother, Taylor Swift’s tribute to Brenda Lee: Rare Peer that she wrote when she was 18 years old, Kelly McCartney’s reflection on k.d. lang: Flawless, Fearless — they are all wonderful, moving tributes to the women that inspired them.
