About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. Kitty Wells made for an unlikely trailblazing feminist icon, with her gingham dresses and plain, uncomplicated voice. Yet this quiet, unassuming housewife and mother with a passion for country music and one of the longest and most lovingly stable marriages in the business, championed the downtrodden woman through her music, inciting controversy along the way. She proved the male-centred country music establishment wrong by headlining her own shows, and selling millions of records in a career spanning over fifty years. Wells opened the door for female country artists like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, and Reba McEntire. Parton said of Wells, InchKitty Wells was the first and only Queen of country music, no matter what they call the rest of usInch. Lynn stated, InchIf I had never heard of Kitty Wells, I don't think I would have been a singer myselfInch. For McEntire, Wells was quite simply her InchheroInch.
