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

-william johnston, gladwin Michigan Grand Ole Opry Country Music Show - Nashville
The show was incredible and the Ryman Auditorium was filled with the wonderful sounds of counrty music. The auditorium has a lot of history in every nook and cranny, and I loved surrounding myself in it. It is one of America's historic places. And it is alive and well!
