Lighten up Travis – this list is nearly three years old – at that time her impact was not yet as large as it is today. If the list were complied today Kevin would have her at least as high as #90, perhaps even higher

Jennifer being the newest on this list, I find her placement at the bottom to be unfounded and she is bringing far more to the table then some above her at this point in her early career…. Jennifer’s voice is like that of Tanya Tuckers, rough, yet solid… I love LOVE Sugarland, and Jennifer will undoubtedly work her way up MUCH further in survey’s in the future if she continues on the track she is on currently…. It’s a group, but her vocal stylings is unmatched currently in country….. She plays the piano which we haven’t seen done since Terri Gibb, ( Somebody’s Knockin) and I find it refreshing to see a female performer do something besides JUST sing behind a mike or just BARELY pick a guitar….

She has an amazing voice. Listen to her cover of Sex on Fire

Patsy Cline will be ANNOUNCED as NUMBER #1 ! Thats as it should be !anything else,i feel, would be ludicrous.Patsy Cline has done more for country than any other female artist in the entire history of country music ! She could ‘emote’ a song greater than all the other ‘legends’ too ! Please remember :there is only one true ‘Queen’ of country music,and that is Patsy.there was a blue grass festival in NJ two weeks ago.a Patsy imitator came up and did three ‘terrific’ renditions of Patsy’s songs,and many people were crying ! Loretta is a darling,and should be way up in the low top ten,as should another great singer: Kitty Wells ! also,of course, Tammy Wynette. EmmyLou Harris,another lady i admire: should also make the top ten. but, there is only one Goddess (and i mean, Goddess) and that is the legendary ‘Cline !!! ‘

I don’t know if she’d be higher than Lambert, but she’d definitely be up higher if I was starting the list today rather than five months ago, given the quality and impact of the third Sugarland album.

Jennifer Nettles should be up a lot farther especially past Miranda Lambert.

jarhead,

When Country Weekly ran a news item about my Fifty Best Debut Singles feature, the thing I was most pumped about was that they ran it with a picture of Jeannie C. Riley. I’m a huge fan of hers.

Lynn,

Jennifer doesn’t need to go solo. She’s known as she is and I don’t think going solo would really do anything for her except maybe get her ‘best female vocalist’ nominations (why couldn’t the CMA and ACM change rules to allow vocalists from groups be up for those types of awards?). Jennifer and Kristian are doing well in their partnership.

I love that you decided to feature 100 great women. While I love the male country singers, the women have always been my favorite. I know a lot of readers will be introduced to a lot of great female artists they’ve never heard of!

I’m not a Jennifer Nettles fan, but I recognize her talent. Do you or anyone think she’ll end up going solo? Every review I read seems to indicate that direction for her.

Hopin’ on Jeannie C. Riley. Who could ever forget her singing Girl Most Likely in that mini skirt? I think I had my first boy/girl thing right about then! Heh! ;-)

Man! I don’t envy you tackling this one. Whew! There are so many great women in Country. Look forward to your posts!
