Who was the last country star to successfully migrate to rock? Can't think of one off the top of my head. I know Tanya Tucker went from rock to country, but I'm trying to think of someone who went the other way?

They're now icons for most of the rock music crowd and for the leftist entertainment industry in general. So they'll be heavily promoted and have a good chance of success. Unfortunately.

Dolly Parton, but she had a couple of props.

Faith Hill, Shania Twain...but I think they underestimate the true Rock fan. Bruce's venues keep getting smaller and smaller...and after Michael Jackson's shenanigans, very few people will admit to ever having been a fan...
My boys (age 12 and 17) with every conceivable form of music available to download and play back, are stuck in the 70's, Molly Hatchett, Blue Oyster Cult, CCR, Queen and Stones and even Johnny Cash's song about taking home a Cadillac from the assembly line. Every morning, I am serenaded by my Robert Plant wanna be's as they hit the shower.
As my budding Cartman says, "Chicks are crap!"

At different times in Pop music history various Country artists have enjoyed short periods of crossover success usually coinciding with a temporary creative vaccum in the Top 40 music genre. In the early 1980's artists like Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap, Juice Newton, Eddie Rabbit, Alabama, Johnny Paycheck, and The Oak Ridge Boys achieved significant commercial success by crossing over to the Pop charts. However, unlike the Chicks these artists didn't abandon their Country fans and all of them enjoyed chart success well after their days of hitting the Pop charts were over.
The past few years have seen a number of Country artists achieve similar cross over success, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Lonestar, and the Dixie Chicks to name a few.
As I pointed out before, this type of success is fleeting and while the Chicks are no doubt talented they will NOT be able to weather this storm. Pop music will soon forget the Chicks, Country music already has.
