Certainly a nice list I wouldn't argue with Cowpoke

Ha, that's a wonderful list Randy. Patty Loveless I don't really know so I will look her up on youtube. My list for what it's worth...

1. Alison Kraus
2. Dolly Parton
3. Tanya Tucker
4. Crystal Gayle
5. Patsy Cline

Cowpoke, here would be my top 5 female country artists

1. Patty Loveless
2. Reba Macentire
3.Tanya Tucker
4.Loretta Lynn
5. Tammy Wynnette

Sweet Dee, shame on you! Tanya had 10 number 1 hits and 40 top 10 hits on the country charts!
And Randy, now you got me curious, which other female country artists are in your top 5? In have a few in mind myself but would love to hear your favorites first.

Tanya had an impressive string of awards and hit records in the mid to late 80s to the mid 90s. Think on a CMT show they had her at number 20 all time female country artist.I would put her top 5 personally. Two sparrows in a hurricane has over 3 million YT views , so no I wouldn't consider her a one hit singer.

For the most part, wasn't TT a one hit song singer (Delta Dawn) similar to Debby Boone (You Light Up My Life)?

Tanya certainly has a distinctive voice. Too many singers, male and female, are too similar in their sound to allow them to stand out from the crowd but Tanya was always easy to recognise.

Agreed Cowpoke, I rank her right up there at the top also.

I am glad to see that Tanya Tucker is touring again after a long hiatus. She's one of the best female country singers ever imho.
Here's a nice review of a recent concert.

She has now one Glen Campbell song in her setlist... By the time I get to Phoenix!

Thanks Randy. That's a great version. Hope we will be hearing more from this sister/brother duo!
