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.

My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I've seen Kathleen Edwards three times. She and her band are great.

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.Originally Posted by westofyou

A couple I really like that haven't been mentioned are Laura Cantrell and Shelby Lynne.
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 doOriginally Posted by savafan
So which do you like better, "the Captain" or "Barricades and Brickwalls" or her newest one (which admittedly I have to listen to more frequently to form a good opinion on it).

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.

If we're going back, I think Trisha Yearwood is a very under-rated country artist.
