An Appreciation: A trailblazin' Kitty Wells

In 'Honky Tonk Angels' and other songs, Wells busted apart notions of a female singer's place on the radio and a foil to the then-male-dominated charts.

Kitty Wells, who died Monday at age 92, was born in Nashville to a family of country musicians, and within that simple truth lies a fascinating narrative. Her story spans nearly a century, and its central plot points involve not only busting apart notions of a female singer's place on the radio but also Wells becoming a reasoned foil to the male-dominated singers occupying the charts.
