I listen to Dolly Parton a LOT, in recent years I also started listening to other (mostly female haha) country artists. Any favourites of people on here I should check out?

I'm a big fan of the US TV series, "Nashville", and I really enjoy a lot of the original country music written for that show. It's great, and you get quite a diverse mix of country sounds (some more pop, some rockier).
Shania Twain is not that much of a country artist indeed... she has the look but come on...
Actually a few country artists that are good(or country related at least, few artists today are "pure" country artist, these are more country rock ones)
Brad Paisley
Tim McGraw
Lee Brice
Carrie Underwood
Brooks & Dunn (the bests !)
Blake Shelton
Travis Tritt
Rascal Flatts : they have some country sounding songs
Oldies but goodies :
Johnny Cash
Kenny Rogers
Enjoy !
Yes, I love Carrie underwood as well! Shania not so much, save for the few hits she had. Yesterday, I received by Greatest hits 3CD set by Tim McGraw, just listened to it, and like it a lot! Also, love the hits compilation by his wife! The new Dierks Bentley album is quite nice, too!
Reba McEntire, one of the biggest seling female artists of all time. She is amazing, her voice still gives me goosebumps. I have followed her for as long as i've followed Kylie. Love her.
Lady Antebellum
... still in most recordstores you'll find Shania Twain in the country-section :p ... what about her Woman In Me album then? ...Quote:

I noticed there were some great songs in the bits of it that I caught.Quote:
