Matraca Berg is in the Country Music Songwriters Hall of Fame.
She’s written a LOT of very, very good songs that other artists have covered but she’s a darn good singer in her own right.
Here’s a list of 25 of Berg’s songs covered by others...and well worth the time to find her own versions.

I had no idea about her. She’s very talented.
I would be curious how many of those songs came from personal experience?
