That Nashville Sound would like to give a hearty big birthday wish to two of Nashville’s most celebrated country music queens- Patty Loveless and Deana Carter (pictured)- both born today. Loveless turns 52 and Carter turns 43.Since her emergence on the country music scene in 1987 with her first, self-titled album, Patty Loveless has been one of the most popular female singers of the Neotraditional country movement, although she has also recorded albums in the Country pop and Bluegrass genres.
To date, Loveless has charted more than forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including five Number Ones. In addition, she has recorded fourteen studio albums (not counting compilations); in the United States, four of these albums have been certified platinum, while two have been certified gold. She is also the 65th member of the Grand Ole Opry. Loveless is also a distant cousin of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle.
Deana Carter broke through in 1996 with the release of debut album Did I Shave My Legs for This?, which was certified 5× Multi-Platinum in the United States for sales of over five million. It was followed by 1998's Everything's Gonna Be Alright, 2003's I'm Just a Girl, 2005's The Story of My Life, and 2007's The Chain. Overall, Carter's albums have accounted for fourteen singles, including three which reached Number One on the Billboard country charts: "Strawberry Wine", "We Danced Anyway", and "How Do I Get There".
We’ve added two videos by the two icons for your viewing pleasure. The first is Patty’s How Can I Help You Say Goodbye, the second is Deana’s Strawberry Wine. Enjoy.
