In country music, the men might dominate the radio waves, but it's women—like Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves—who are making history. Join us as we sit down with Marissa Moss and discuss her book “Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be.” Marissa tells the story of the past twenty years of country music as seen through the lens of Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves —and traces their paths to stardom, as well as their battles against a deeply embedded boys' club, and their efforts to transform the genre into a more inclusive place.

It was only two decades ago, but, for the women of country music, 1999 seems like an entirely different universe. With Shania Twain, country's biggest award winner and star, and The Chicks topping every chart, country music was a woman's world: specifically, country radio and Nashville's Music Row. Cut to 2021, when women are only played on country radio 16% of the time, on a good day, and when only men have won Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards for a decade. To a world where artists like Kacey Musgraves sell out arenas but barely score a single second of airplay. But also to a world where these women are infinitely bigger live draws than most male counterparts, having massive pop crossover hits like Maren Morris's "The Middle," pushing the industry to confront its deeply embedded racial biases with Mickey Guyton's "Black Like Me," winning heaps of Grammy nominations, banding up in supergroups like The Highwomen and taking complete control of their own careers, on their own terms. When the rules stopped working for the women of country music, they threw them out and made their own: and changed the genre forever, and for better. Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be (Henry Holt, 2022) is veteran Nashville journalist Marissa R. Moss's story of how in the past two decades, country's women fought back against systems designed to keep them down, armed with their art and never willing to just shut up and sing: how women like Kacey, Mickey, Maren, The Chicks, Miranda Lambert, Rissi Palmer, Brandy Clark, LeAnn Rimes, Brandi Carlile, Margo Price and many more have reinvented the rules to find their place in an industry stacked against them, how they've ruled the century when it comes to artistic output--and about how women can and do belong in the mainstream of country music, even if their voices aren't being heard as loudly. Marissa R. Moss is an award-winning journalist who has written about the topic of gender inequality on the country airwaves for outlets like Rolling Stone, NPR, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, and many more.

[REBROADCAST FROM April 13, 2022] Following our Listening Party with Maren Morris, we take a deep dive into the recent history of women in country music with Marissa R. Moss, author of the forthcoming book, Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be. Subjects of the book include Morris, along with Mickey Guyton, Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, and the Chicks. Her Country will be published on May 10.

 **This episode was recorded before the Supreme Court's final week of the 2022 term in which they overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs opinion, hobbled the ability of states to regulate guns in Bruen and severely limited the EPA's ability to tackle climate change in WV v. EPA** In this episode I talk to Dr. Peter La Chapelle, professor of political and social history at Nevada State College, and author of I'd Fight the World: A Political History of Old-Time, Hillbilly, and Country Music and Proud to be an Okie: Cultural Politics, Country Music, and Migration to Southern California, about the evolution of country music and how/why it went from music that championed the working class and the poor to a home for conservatives. We discuss some classic imagery from the early 20th century that created a lasting, and incorrect, image of American poverty and the working class, and talk about how that influenced the evolution of country music. We talk about the underrepresentation of women and folks of color, particulary Black folks, in country music and where liberal voices still live in that sphere. And, we discuss some of our favorite artists and whether I could be a country music performer.

The This Is Nashville team is off for July 4. We're rebroadcasting an episode about women and country music, which originally aired on May 16. As the 1990s came to a close, country music's biggest stars were women — Shania Twain, Faith Hill and the Chicks ruled the charts. Fast forward to 2021, and it's “bro country” as far as the eye can see. Women are often the subjects of songs — wearing short shorts as they climb into pickup trucks. Women appear in as few as 10 percent of the songs on country radio. How did we get here? And how have women found ways to fight back and find paths for themselves? Writer and journalist Marissa R. Moss unpacks these questions and more. At the top of the show, reporter Paige Pfleger talks about her recent story about women's negative experiences with men in songwriting sessions. Guests: Paige Pfleger, WPLN reporter Crys Matthews, singer/songwriter Marissa R. Moss, author of Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be Leah Turner, musician

Popular female country artists like Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris have scored major pop crossover hits, made huge splashes in the vinyl market and perform for sold-out crowds across the United States, yet barely have a blip on country radio. Though far from a new phenomenon, it's one that has drawn battle lines over the last two decades between gatekeepers of a genre dominated by white males and a rightfully fervent opposition seeking accountability, diversity and equal representation. On this week's episode, music journalist Marissa R. Moss (Rolling Stone, Billboard) explains how she tackles these issues and more in her new book, “Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be” (available today, May 10th). We also dive into why Sturgill Simpson's latest record is best enjoyed on vinyl, the rise of Nashville's Black Opry, and how life events influence how we hear and appreciate music.

The Power of Women in Country Music highlights the past 100 years This month, the GRAMMY Museum's The Power Of Women In Country Music opens for a summer run in Los Angeles. The event highlights the past, present and future of country music's greatest female trailblazers by exploring the rich history of women as a driving force in country music. The Power Of Women In Country Music will take visitors on a journey through the history of women in country music, from the early years and post-World War II, to the emergence of Nashville as a country music mecca, and to female country artists becoming international pop sensations. The exhibit will feature artifacts or special content from a diverse roster of 70 female country artists. The exhibit launches on Friday, May 27th and will run through Sunday, October 2nd. LeAnn Rimes is scheduled for a special Public Program moderated by Marissa R. Moss, author of Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be, to celebrate the new exhibit on Tuesday, May 31st. Tickets are available now via the GRAMMY Museum's website. Kelsey Goelz, GRAMMY Museum's Associate Coordinator and curator of the exhibit, chats with us about what artifacts fans can expect to see. She also explains why it's important that the traveling exhibit continues to grow. Stick around after the interview where Matt and I chat about Naomi Judd, who passed away last week at 76, and Dolly Parton being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this fall.

Following our Listening Party with Maren Morris, we take a deep dive into the recent history of women in country music with Marissa R. Moss, author of the forthcoming book, Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be. Subjects of the book include Morris, along with Mickey Guyton, Kacey Musgraves, Brandi Carlile, and the Chicks. Her Country will be published on May 10.

Marissa Moss sits down for an exclusive preview of her new book “Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be." In her book, Marissa tells the “inside story of the last twenty years of country music through the lens of Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves―their peers and inspirations, their paths to stardom, and their battles against a deeply embedded boys' club, as well as their efforts to transform the genre into a more inclusive place for all.” You can pre-order the book through the link below: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250793591/hercountry This conversation with Marissa also inspired me to reflect on my own experiences of being a woman in the media business. To put it lightly, it hasn't been easy. I explain more at the top of the pod. Country music has a famous motto: “Three chords and the truth.” It's important to speak our truths and listen to these conversations with an open mind. By doing so, I believe we all can be the change our future generations need. Thank you as always for listening. *If you enjoy Grounded on Purpose, please take a moment to subscribe and connect with us on Instagram @groundedonpurpose and/or on our Grounded on Purpose Facebook page.
