BABES OF COUNTRY MUSIC

I caught CMT's 20 Sexiest Women of County Music over the weekend. My radar for shows like that is almost fail-safe. There was some excellent photography and video in that show. Actually, that's a lie. I don't know if there was or not; I was too focused on the ladies. I was just trying to sound PC.

I've made my own top 10 list of country babes, driven my OCD for lists and dirty old man syndrome (as usual).

I don't have a lot of disagreement with their list but I do have some. I'll withhold most of my usual salacious comments. Here's my top 10 list:

10. Jennifer Hansen--newcomer but moving up fast

9. Julie Roberts--another newcomer and a rare blonde on my list

8. Martina McBride--the eyes have it, no question about it

7. Shania Twain--CMT's number one and certainly deserving

6. Sheryl Crow--she's good enough for Lance and that's good enough for me

5. Lari White--a short appearance at the end of Castaway with Tom Hanks grabbed my attention. She's got that girl next door look.

4. Chely Wright--she's got a lot of different looks and everyone of them sexy and beautiful

3. Deana Carter--one of the few blondes on the list and I love her bare feet among other things

2. Sara Evans--stunning dark haired, dark eyed beauty with a little bit of country look, she's h-o-t!

1. Faith Hill--still numero uno even after marriage and children. Oh dear god, I would have liked to have been those satin sheets in Breathe for just 1 minute.

UPDATE: I left out Amy Grant. She gets an honorable mention. I've lusted loved her for years.

She looks like a bar fly.

I agree that Reba is very pretty too.
It annoys me that country music is getting as bad as other genre's by acting like if you're over 30, you aren't worth playin'. Which is why we hear such vapid, teen whine on the rock stations.
Heck, to borrow from an old world saying, an young woman ain't got nuthin' to sing about.

Pushing 70, Loretta is a great beauty with lots to sing about.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Your list is faulty. It does not include Reba McEntire.

She is beautiful beyond words all the way from her inner core to the outer corona which surrounds her. Any such list without her is suspect.

[najida]

No one sounds like Emmy Lou...
The opposite of the generic voice.

"Alison is Hottie, my dear."

You call'n me a ckick? Listen sweetheart....Ha!

[Cecily]

She was pretty in her 1960's heyday. Another good-looking rock and roll woman is Annie Lennox (Grace's current picture made me think of her - it must be the hair).

:)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Of course, I should probably post a pic:

[Cecily]

Dolly Parton is the prettiest of the Old School country ladies.

[NRA1995]

Grace Slick ceased to be pretty after the shooting of the "Surrealistic Pillow" cover; the drugs and the lifestyle took a very early toll. I personally prefer Sade over Annie Lennox any day of the week, she's drop-dead gorgeous.....

[missyme]

Sara Evans has her beat by a long shot!

[najida]

I think Dolly is the prettiest person on the planet--- And I admire that the kids in her county now call her the "Book Lady".

[NRA1995]

Also, Grace is wearing long hair tied back in that photo

[Dashing Dasher]

I like the fact that Sara has the Right Politics!

[najida]

Off to lunch,
My list, in no particular order
Based on beauty, character, brains, song writing ability and vocal quality.

Reba McEntire
Trisha Yearwood
Patsy Kline
Leann Rimes
Alison Krause
Loretta Lynn
Dolly Parton
Emmy Lou Harris
Pam Tillis
Sara Evans

Jo Dee has a unfortuante resemblance to James Carvilles' wife (the republican gal). But she does wear jeans VERY WELL.

[pissant]

I still like Loretta

[missyme]

Exactly..I think I had read her husband is in Oregon Politics?

Sara states what's truly important!
Jesus and Family!

[pissant]

Good list Najida. Thanks for stopping by.

It's about time somebody mentioned Lee Ann Womack:

Great pic's Najida! I totally agree!
