Reba, Dolly Parton & Loretta Lynn featured on ‘Iconic Women of Country’ soundtrack

Album is available July 16th

Universal Music Nashville is widely releasing the compilation Iconic Women of Country on CD on July 16th. This special compilation is the official soundtrack to the PBS special of the same name that aired in June 2020 and was made available only through PBS. The disc features 15 tracks from Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and 10 other iconic country superstars.

Songs like “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” “Fancy,” and “Stand By Your Man” appear on the project.

Iconic Women of Country opens up the music vaults to provide an intimate look at legendary female artists, their stories and songs, and why they’ve stood the test of time. A love letter to the women of Nashville, the program pays tribute to 14 icons of country music — Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee and more — with heartfelt stories from ten contemporary artists, including Trisha Yearwood, Wynonna Judd and Kathy Mattea.

In the special, current female country music stars reflect on each legend’s iconic song — one that comes to mind when someone says “Patsy” or “Tammy” or “Loretta.” Viewers hear stories behind the song, how it reflected the artist, why it had such an immediate impact, and why it’s lasted through the decades. Using the songs as an entry point, Iconic Women of Country provides a unique look at the hallmark artist along with the context and influences that made the song so popular and timely. What drove these legends to write or perform each memorable song? How did the songs reflect their own lives? What inspired them? The program unearths stories and provides new insight through the reflections of those who have followed in the footsteps of legends and continue to sing these songs.
