I've shared before that while growing up I listened to both kinds of music (that's be country and western) and of late I've been revisiting some of those sounds. One singer I've rediscovered is Kitty Wells, who blazed a trail for Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and pretty much every woman who sang a country note since. One of her biggest hits was "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels," recorded in response to Hank Thompson's "Wild Side of Life." THe lyrics are pretty blunt and unapologetic for the time and are no less relevant today.
