Country Universe: 25 C&W Favorites From Linda

[erik]

It may be close to three years ago that I did this, but here's the link to my look at my 25 favorite songs of Linda's in the C&W vein that I did at Country Universe, a country music blog:

Why only 25?

That was the maximum that most members do there; and I felt that I should continue that format. Besides, even though Linda has done a lot of C&W-related material in her 45 years of recording, I thought my list covered a very wide swath, from "The Only Mama That'll Walk The Line" (from 1969's Hand Sown, Home Grown) to "I Can't Get Over You" (from 2006's Adieu False Heart). I also included a number of album tracks to demonstrate why Linda was arguably the very first female singer in any genre, country or otherwise, whose career was defined as much by albums (if not more so) as by hit singles.
