Description
Women were remarkably important in the evolution of honky tonk music. Patsy Montana, Rose Maddox, and Texas Ruby, among others, helped establish both the honky tonk sound and a new country music sound in which women took the lead and sang laments. The honky tonk sound and esthetic created by women live on today in the music of Lucinda Williams, Tanya Tucker, The Dixie Chicks, and many others.
