Grand Ole Opry Member Spotlight: Jean ShepardThrough her poignant lyrics and notable success, Jean Shepard has become a country legend and inspiration to women country singers throughout her career. Beginning her career in the 1950s, Jean found herself in male-dominated field but managed to become one of the prominent female country legends. Many of the songs Jean sung were direct and unadulterated concerning bad relationships and the ill treatment of women in them. For 1950s country music, Jean was indeed a controversial artist, but she managed to land a fulfilling career. From being a star on Ozark Jubilee to chart-topping singles and albums, Jean enjoyed success throughout the 1950s, -60s, and -70s and became an icon for country singers like Loretta Lynn, Jeannie C. Riley, and Wanda Jackson. Background and Early Career

Grand Ole Opry Country Music Show - Nashville
Being at the Grand Ole Opry was awesome. It gave me goose bumps to think about all the artists that had performed on that stage.
-Traci Neitzel, Saint Francis, KS Grand Ole Opry Country Music Show - Nashville
We enjoyed the tuesday night show alot, and got to see eight different performers. Our seats were to the left side of the stage, and my husband could just walk down and take a photo or two of the performers. The building is just beautiful and the shop is very nice.
-Kim Cole, Sherman,, NY Grand Ole Opry Country Music Show - Nashville
It was nice, but we enjoyed the General Jackson music just as well, if not more. We would have liked to have seen more of Mark Lowery and guests.
