Favorite male and female country music vocalists of all time?

I liked Toby Keith until around 2000. After that, he started catering to the redneck crowd instead of just releasing good music. That’s part of my problem with coutry radio right now. It sounds like rock music singing about redneck stereotypes. Listen to “She’s Country” by Jason Aldean for a perfect example of how to keep me from buying music.

Most of my favorite songs and singers are centered from about 1985 to 1995. I like stuff that ranges from the 40’s to now though.

Male: Roger Miller
Female: Patsy Cline

the title of this thread is a bit deceptive.

it should read who are the greatest male and female country artists of al time?

so i’ll do it both ways.

  1. male vocalist - Johnny Cash
  2. female vocalist - Tammy Wynette

male/female duo - George Jones and Tammy Wynette
