1) Willie Nelson: The long, red hair. The beaten-up guitar. The timeless songs. Willie Nelson is one of the institutions of country music. He belongs on any list of the greatest of all-time. Is he on the Mount Rushmore? There s definitely a debate to be had for that.
2) Loretta Lynn: This Coal Miners Daughter s career has spanned over 60 years, brought her numerous awards and accolades, and made her one of the most prominent female voices in the history of country music. She s worked with everyone from Conway Twitty to Jack White. And as she approaches the age of 90, Loretta is still cranking out great music and shows no signs of slowing down.

Her brand of âadvocacy for ordinary womenâ â she is ânot a big fanâ of the term âfeministâ, considering it to be insufficiently concerned with working-class women â bordered on the confrontational, at least by the conservative standards of Nashville.
