For pure vocal chops, Martina McBride. I like Terri Clark's and Gretchen Wilson's songs better, though. Miranda, too. I tend to prefer the jeans-wearing chicks with a bit of an edge to the homecoming queens, musically speaking.

Another one in my collection that I didn't know was country. :thumbup:Quote:

I'm with Woy on Lorreta.
Tammy's pretty damn good too.
Wow, awesome picks. I seriously was contemplating between Loretta and Tammy myself for all time, and I really like Kathleen Edwards and Allison Moorer among more contemporary sounds (or "alt-country" as some call those acts). Though they caught a lot of flak (unjustly, but no need to get into that), the Dixie Chicks have good REAL country music... some of their breakthrough music was poppish, but their last couple albums have been absolutely real country.Quote:

Yeah, call it what you like. I am not too big on labels, but she fits in more with country than other commonly used groupings, I guess. "Australian folk" possibly? It was a good chance to bring up here name anyway, as I didn't know anyone else listened to her, and now I know you do :thumbup:Quote:

Sara Evans and Martina McBride are the cream of the current crop, no doubt. I also like the lead girl in Sugarland, though her name escapes me at the moment.

Patsy Cline.
She definitely has the best voice in country music, but Faith Hill and Shania Twain would probably disagree.Quote:
