Various ArtistsRounding Up The Gals, Volume One - Great Female Country Vocals
Given the rugged background of Country & Western
music, it is not surprising that women have been relegated to second place in
the performing stakes. Taming the West was for men, 'real' men at that, and the
woman's role, if at all, was as distant wife, girlfriend or mother. A woman's
place was in the home, doing the chores, washing, cooking, raising the children
- it certainly wasn't riding the range and singing about the men in their lives.
But of course there were major exceptions - conditions through the earlier and
middle part of the Twentieth Century did not make it easy for women to succeed
in the music business but feminine charms, on stage and records, were a welcome
relief through the gloomy years of the Second World War and subsequently more
women succeeded in a successful Country music career.
