Women are still dreadfully underrepresented in country music, even though they have widespread appeal, and the female musicians are often the ones who enjoy the greatest successes. It is incredibly difficult for any woman to break through and make a name for herself in the genre, and one lucky artist who has done so recently is Maren Morris.
The country singer-songwriter scored a huge hit with her debut album Hero, which hit the top five on the Billboard 200, spun off several singles that all performed well on the country charts, and even won her a Grammy. Now, she’s still touring on that release, but she’s also hard at work at what will likely become her sophomore album, which will surely cement her as a force to be reckoned with in country music.
