Kacey Musgraves, Mickey Guyton and Maren Morris are the focus of the book from author Marissa R. Moss.
Maren Morris performs onstage during Day 1 of the 2022 Stagecoach Festival at the Empire Polo Field on April 29, 2022 in Indio, California.Country music fans have accomplished an improbable and equally impressive feat: in the past half-decade or so alone, they have incubated and nurtured an entire ecosystem of female artists — Cam, Margo Price, The Highwomen, Yola, Allison Russell, Ashley McBryde, and many, many others — without any help from mainstream country radio.
“When I asked the women that they would all sort of uniformly say yes,” says Moss. “Being from Texas really played a role in who they are and who they became.” The backlash was swift and severe. Radio stations went from playing the Chicks — who dropped the “Dixie” about a month after the murder of Houston native George Floyd — in heavy rotation to organizing rallies where the trio’s albums were gleefully destroyed. Worse yet was the example it set for any artist expressing an opinion that could even remotely be considered outspoken.
One of the pivotal moments in her book, Moss believes, comes when instead of apologizing for the Bush comment, the Chicks returned with the 2006 song “Not Ready to Make Nice,” which won a bunch of Grammys but signaled the band’s permanent divorce from the country-music establishment. Entering the picture not long after that is Miranda Lambert, another Texan who Moss calls “a little bit of a North-Star figure” for her fierce artistic integrity and brazenly commercial sound.
