| Episode Nineteen: The Three Little Maids, Part 2: Lucille Overstake (Jenny Lou Carson) | 12 Nov 2021 | 00:39:35 | |
The legendary Jenny Lou Carson (Lucille Overstake) is the first woman to write a #1 country song. We hear her story, plus things get blue as we get into the dirty thirties with a strain of hillbilly music you wouldn't hear on the National Barn Dance. We also hear the story behind the first gay country song.
