October 23, 201411 yr Maybelle Carter Loretta Lynn Tammy Wynette Dolly Parton For me, Patsy Cline just wasn't around long enough to have as much of an impact as some other women. My last cut. Her body of work wasn't monumental either, but her influence was.

October 23, 201411 yr The easiest thing I've done all week is leave Garth off Mt Rushmore. I get the debate with him, especially from the "traditional" hard core country crowd.

I put Reba in a very similar boat.
