It was the hit "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" that perpetuated the then-popular image of the longhaired country boy. Willie Nelson had arrived as a country superstar. His folky, nasal inflections carried his voice through many different genres of music, including Western Swing, traditional pop, jazz, Traditional Country, Cowboy country songs, Honky-Tonk, rock 'n' roll, folk music and of course, the blues. Nelson's success lasted until the late 1980s, when some trouble with the IRS landed him in a number of stuffed-crust pizza commercials and a cameo role in the film Half Baked smoking his beloved joints. When the day is done, Nelson can easily be considered a bona fide legend. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68452&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Adult Contemporary Tue, 1 Dec 2009 09:47:08 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68452 art.68452 Linda Ronstadt art.68452 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68452&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68452&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.962&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Honky-Tonk Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:46 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.962 art.962 George Jones art.962 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.962&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.962&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss
Jones grew up the eighth child in a poor Texas family, his father an alcoholic laborer, his mother a church pianist. He came to music early, singing at 9, playing guitar at 11, and writing his first song at 12. Jones ran away from home at age 14; in 1947 he was hired by the duo Eddie and Pearl. A regular radio spot gave Jones his first glimmer of fame and also got him his first endearing nickname, Possum, so dubbed by a disc jockey for Jones' close-set eyes and turned-up nose. By 18 Jones already had a wife, a child, and a broken marriage behind him.

After three years in the Marine Corps, Jones returned to Texas to start his musical career in earnest. He again gained attention while singing on the radio. A Houston producer, H. W. "Pappy" Daily, signed Jones to the Starday label; there, Jones had his first C&W hits, including "Why Baby Why" (Number Four, 1955), "You Gotta Be My Baby" (Number Seven, 1956), and "Just One More" (Number Three, 1956). After Starday merged with the national label Mercury in 1957, Jones began cutting the classic singles that made him famous; among them, 1959's "White Lightning," Jones' first C&W Number One and his only pop hit (Number 73). Other hits from this period include "Who Shot Sam" (Number Seven, 1959), "The Window Up Above" (Number Two, 1960), and "Tender Years" (Number One, 1961).

Jones' long string of country hits includes "She Thinks I Still Care" (Number One, 1962), "You Comb Her Hair" (Number Five, 1963), "The Race Is On" (Number Three, 1964), "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds" (a duet with Melba Montgomery) (Number Three, 1963), "Walk Through This World With Me" (Number One, 1967), "A Good Year for the Roses" (Number Two, 1970), "The Grand Tour" (Number One, 1974), "He Stopped Loving Her Today" (Number One, 1980), and "Yesterday's Wine" (with Merle Haggard) (Number One, 1982). In addition to these and other major sellers were dozens of Top 20 hits. In all, Jones has found himself on the C&W chart—as a solo artist or in duet settings—over 150 times.

But Jones' phenomenal success as an artist ran neck and neck with his increasingly erratic behavior. Jones' excessive drinking, and later drug abuse, caused him to consistently miss shows (giving him the new nickname, No Show Jones), shirk off recording sessions, and behave violently toward wives and friends. In 1969 Jones married country superstar Tammy Wynette. Though their four-year marriage was stormy (Jones was accused of beating her and threatening her with a rifle), the two had chart success together during and after the marriage: "We're Gonna Hold On" (Number One, 1973), "Golden Ring" (Number One, 1976), "Near You" (Number One, 1976), and "Two Story House" (Number Two, 1980).

Jones turned over a new leaf in his recording career and personal life during the 1980s. Eschewing the overproduced sound that had been cluttering his work, Jones returned to his honky-tonk roots. He sought help for substance abuse, amended his no-show ways, and established a stable fourth marriage. His 1992 single "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" (Number 34 C&W) featured 10 contemporary country hitmakers, including Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Alan Jackson, and Travis Tritt. In 1994 Jones recorded The Bradley Barn Sessions, a series of duets with performers including Trisha Yearwood, Keith Richards, and Mark Knopfler. That fall, Jones underwent triple bypass surgery; upon recovery, he returned to the studio to record One, a reunion album with Wynette that the pair supported with a short tour. The following year saw the release of his notoriously self-deprecating, tell-all autobiography, I Lived to Tell It All. An album of the same name followed later that year, peaking at Number 26 on the country chart. In 1998 he began hosting his own variety show on TNN, The George Jones Show, which ran for two years.

Jones recorded one more album for MCA in 1998 but asked to be released from the label out of frustration from lack of radio airplay. He was in the finishing stages of recording his debut for Asylum the following year when he drove his sport-utility vehicle into a concrete bridge, landing him in the hospital with damaged lungs and liver. He later pleaded guilty to DWI — his first slip off the wagon in more than a dozen years. He survived the ordeal with a new lease on life, a rush of renewed media interest, and his highest-charting album of the decade, Cold Hard Truth (Number Five C&W), which featured the single "Choices" (Number 24 C&W). Live With the Possum followed later the same year.]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61365&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Sat, 5 Dec 2009 10:33:43 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61365 art.61365 Patsy Cline art.61365 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61365&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61365&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Sat, 5 Dec 2009 10:34:00 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4802 art.4802 Dolly Parton art.4802 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4922&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Sat, 5 Dec 2009 10:33:47 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4922 art.4922 Conway Twitty art.4922 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4922&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4922&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2437&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Sat, 5 Dec 2009 10:33:41 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2437 art.2437 Glen Campbell art.2437 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2437&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2437&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss The Joey Bishop Show led to a hosting gig on The Summer Smothers Brothers Show, which in turn led to his own series, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. In the mid-'70s, Campbell hit his stride, topping both the country and pop charts with "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Southern Nights." During the '80s, marriage troubles and substance abuse saw him in and out of the tabloids, but he bounced back in the '90s, recording a handful of gospel albums and writing his autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy. In 2005, Campbell was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Three years later, at 72, he released Meet Glen Campbell, a covers collection. - Linda Ryan]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61325&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Honky-Tonk Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:51 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61325 art.61325 Loretta Lynn art.61325 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61325&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61325&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) that made her a brand name in non-(Ford)truck-driving households across the nation. One of the first female country singers to address feminist issues, Lynn was considered a maverick during the '70s by the Grand Ole Opry's stuffed-shirt elite. With songs like "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'" and "The Pill" she stood in stark contrast to the stand-by-your-abuser sentiment of the time. This outspoken quality and her bedrock vocal style has been her legacy, influencing countless artists and earning her the utmost respect of the Nashville nation. The album-per-year pace Lynn had kept up for almost thirty years began to slacken during the '90s as she went into a sort of semiretirement, releasing fewer records, but choosing her material more carefully. As a duet partner, she teamed up with nearly every big-name country artist, ushering that peculiarly country tradition into contemporary times. Still Country (2000) finds her in fine form; the hard Honky-Tonk rocker "Country in My Genes" serves as a showcase for her pure country vitality and confirms her icon status. - Mike McGuirk]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40229&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Cowboy Sat, 5 Dec 2009 10:33:46 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.40229 art.40229 Marty Robbins art.40229 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40229&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40229&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4965&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:41 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4965 art.4965 Don Williams art.4965 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4965&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4965&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3924&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Gospel Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:46 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3924 art.3924 The Statler Brothers art.3924 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3924&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3924&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3221&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Wed, 2 Dec 2009 11:07:34 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3221 art.3221 Chet Atkins art.3221 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3221&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3221&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.593&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss New Country Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:55 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.593 art.593 Wynonna Judd art.593 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.593&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.593&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Wynonna sold over five million copies, giving the singer the highest-selling debut album by a female at that time.

In 2003, Wynonna celebrated 20 years in the music business by releasing What the World Needs Now, which returned the singer to the top of the charts.

He recorded a final album, After All These Years, in 2005, and passed away three years later, at age 89. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68896&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:46 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68896 art.68896 Skeeter Davis art.68896 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68896&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68896&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss was Davis' music -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as 1960s Nashville pop is some of the best music America has to offer. Her career began in the '50s as one half of the country-billy vocal group, the Davis Sisters. Tragically, her sister Betty Jack (no relation to Billy Jack) was killed in a car wreck in 1953, and Skeeter set out on her own. Throughout the '60s and '70s, Davis jumped back and forth between pure country and rock 'n' roll, never straying far from the charts. The '80s brought a marriage to NRBQ member Joey Spampinato and a number of subsequent collaborations with the group. - Mike McGuirk]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2375&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:06 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2375 art.2375 Mac Davis art.2375 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2375&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2375&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5436&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Urban Cowboy Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:06 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5436 art.5436 John Conlee art.5436 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5436&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5436&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.371&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Soul Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:27:44 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.371 art.371 Tony Joe White art.371 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.371&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.371&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14836&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:03 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14836 art.14836 Bobbie Gentry art.14836 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14836&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14836&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2369&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:51:02 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2369 art.2369 Jimmy Dean art.2369 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2369&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2369&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1772&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Honky-Tonk Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:11 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1772 art.1772 Kitty Wells art.1772 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1772&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1772&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16762&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Soul Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:51:44 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16762 art.16762 Joe South art.16762 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16762&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16762&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38283&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:38:14 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38283 art.38283 Donna Fargo art.38283 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38283&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38283&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4038&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:57:44 -0700 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4038 art.4038 Bobby Goldsboro art.4038 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4038&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4038&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68458&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:51:33 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68458 art.68458 Porter Wagoner art.68458 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68458&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68458&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Wagonmaster. Released in June of 2007, the album was produced with a purist's ear by Marty Stuart and echoed eerie reflections of Johnny Cash's American series, especially with the Cash penned song "Committed To Parkview." Wagoner toured Wagonmaster, opening for White Stripes at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 24, 2007.

Their well-orchestrated material centers around singer/songwriter Kurt Wagner's tales of death and deodorizers and other subjects that would seem comical coming from most singers. Within Wagner's staid delivery and the band's striking arrangements, there is a sense of lyrical calm and musical grandeur that never veers into assault. On Lambchop's newer releases, both What Another Man Spills and Nixon, the band has found the natural relationship between country and orchestrated, classic Soul music. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3962&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Instrumental Country Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:22:03 -0700 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3962 art.3962 Boots Randolph art.3962 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3962&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3962&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1429&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:48 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1429 art.1429 Sonny James art.1429 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1429&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1429&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45852&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:57:46 -0700 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.45852 art.45852 Jim Ed Brown art.45852 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45852&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45852&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44578&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:51:03 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44578 art.44578 Stonewall Jackson art.44578 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44578&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44578&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68897&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Sound Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:38:40 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68897 art.68897 Barbara Fairchild art.68897 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68897&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68897&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10477&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fnashville-sound%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Gospel Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:38:16 -0800 Top Nashville Sound Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10477 art.10477 Jeannie C.
