I don't listen to current country, just stuff from about the mid-50s up to the mid-80s, sometimes a little later, but not much 90s stuff. I haven't delved too much into the male singers yet either, so I just have a couple of ladies.

1. Crystal Gayle (even though her chart success was limited to the country charts, I think she's the very essence of crossover artist, and so I almost hesitate to put her on this list)
2. Tanya Tucker
3. Loretta Lynn
4. Dolly Parton
5. Lynn Anderson
6. Tammy Wynette
7. Emmylou Harris
8. Barbara Mandrell

Hey, you have Ms. Crystal! That's enough for me lol

That woman's voice is just so amazing...I'd give her the money out of my pocket if she needed it.

Crystal Gayle and Lynn Anderson each did duets with Gary Morris. As a fellow soap fan, you are probably familiar with "Another World (You Take Me Away)", which Crystal Gayle and Gary Morris took to the country Top Ten in 1987. They also did "Makin' Up For Lost Time", which became popular due to its exposure on the nighttime soap Dallas. Gary Morris and Lynn Anderson recorded "You're Welcome to Tonight". All terrific songs!!

Im not into country much these days but I still love Dolly Parton and George Straight. Back in the day I was a huge Garth Brooks fan and I like other country artist like Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, Patti Loveless, Mary Chapen Carpenter and many more.
