They all had to start somewhere!
So, lets go through a list of your favorite ladies that have been around the country world for a minute and see if you remember their first releases!
Carrie Underwood
Way back to that American Idol moment, Carrie Underwood has always been a powerhouse vocally. Since 2004 she has released a massive catalog of hits, but it all started here:
Miranda Lambert
In 2003 she was making quite the impression on Sony Record Executive, Tracy Gershon while performing on Nashville Star. So much so, he convinced the label to sign her and next thing you know, her first single was released:
Reba
Long before either of the last two ladies were even conceived, Reba was starting her country music journey. The year was 1976, the song was:
Shania Twain
She didn’t have it easy growing up and trying to get started in the music industry. When her parents were tragically killed in a car accident when she was 19, she moved back home to take care of her siblings. After some struggles, she was able to make her dreams come true…
Faith Hill
As a kid her vocal talent was very apparent and by the time she was ready to graduate she would perform for prisoners at the Hinds County Jail. Yes, she performed for inmates – what a start, huh?!
Trisha Yearwood
The daughter of a school teacher and a banker, who, actually wanted to become an accountant! Seriously! But, her bright star couldn’t be dimmed…
Gretchen Wilson
Her first single sky rocketed Wilson to the top of the charts. Following its success, her first single from her next album, “All Jacked Up” became the highest debuting single for a female country artist in 2005!
