Tune in for late night Americana on Friday with music from some of the female greats of the genre as we celebrate Women's History month. We'll hear from icons like Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, and Emmy Lou Harris, as well as new artists like Sierra Ferrell, Sarah Jarosz, Molly Tuttle, and Neko Case who are continuing to reshape the music. Also, tracks from true veterans like Hazel Dickens and Wilma Lee Cooper, who were staples on the Bluegrass circuit during its earliest years. Wilma Lee Cooper was a part of a duo with her husband Stoney Cooper and were regulars at the Grand Old Opry beginning in 1957. In 1974, she was named The First lady of Bluegrass by the Smithsonian Institution. Wonderful female artists of the genre. It's the Best of Pickin. Friday night at 10 on 89.5 WHRV.
