Feb 26, 2019 by apost team

There is something about country music that seems to resonate somewhere deep within many of us. The resounding lyrics are often deeply personal and touch on subjects that can leave us with powerful, raw emotion.

Some of the most impactful country music songs are the female-anthems that speak to the two emotions we all have experienced: love and heartbreak. Of course, these two song themes don’t define female country music artists, but they somehow seem to hit home every time.

The road to country music stardom for women was blazed early on by a handful of shining ladies. One of those pioneers was the legendary Patsy Cline. Her music career lasted just over 5 years. She released only 3 albums. We lost her at the young age of 30.

Yet, none of those things stopped her from becoming a revolutionary force in the world of country music. From the moment she was discovered on the Arthur Godfrey Show singing “Walkin’ After Midnight,” she became one of the first country singers to become a crossover success in the music industry.
