This collection focuses on the early years of Jean Shepard's career, when she was at the forefront of the Bakersfield Sound, and her songs took an honest and unflinching look at life and love from a woman’s perspective. In many ways a courageous performer, her enduring influence is still to be found in the music of countless female Country singers.
