Female Friday: Stephanie Quayle
Welcome to Female Friday where feminists and music lovers rejoice! Everyone knows that the country music industry is crushing big time on "bro country" and has been for the last five or so years.
While the 90's to 2000's roared to life with Shania's upbeat female anthems, Terri Clark's more traditional twang, Faith and Martina's love songs. We were busting Jo Dee Messina's give a damn and Trisha had us falling in love with the boy. The new era has reversed us into a downward slide off of super-girl mountain.
With T-Swift bowing out of the country side of town, our two greatest sold female performers are, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood, standing alone on the mountain, desperately clinging to the ground they fought to claim.
Even as I claim to stick to my guns of being a well rounded fan, my own female music list can, on occasion, be found lacking.
While stars such as, Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, Cam and Maren Morris, fight through the thicket- Friday's forever shine on the woman deserving of any and all spotlight.
Stephanie Quayle is the artist of one of my new favorite songs. "Drinking With Dolly" makes me want to sing and dance, it truly speaks to me on a spiritual level. This song is one of those songs you remember where you were and what your were doing the first time you heard it. For me, I was driving home from town, doing my weekly Wal-Mart run, coming around the s-curves into my small hometown, 99.9 KFAV, a small local Missouri station that comes through my FM radio sometimes, had it playing.
The album Love the Way You See Me released this year (2017) includes songs "I Got Your Six" and "Winnebago". Love the Way You See Me is actually the third album for Bozeman, Montana native.
Her previous released songs, "Think Like a Man" and "Ain't No Housewife" (the title track from the same named album), both have the more traditional country/honky-tonking sound that I love. Neither getting the credit from major country radio that was deserved. This is a true blue cowgirl or "buffalo" girl, if you will, and she comes with the sound that defined country music that we just do not hear on the radio anymore.
