While Jean Shepard may not have had Patsy's voice or Loretta Lynn's scrappy persona and backstory, it's still a darn shame that she's not more well known (and on the jukebox in more hipster dive bars). In order to rectify that at least a little bit, I'm posting an 1995 out of print Jean Shepard cd put out by the Country Music Foundation. Enjoy some great country music.

Thanks a lot!
I've been looking for this out-of-print CD for a while.
Robbie Fulks is a big Jean fan, he's written about her, it's worth looking up, probably on his website somewhere.
@bubba,
It really is a great comp - the Faron Young and Johnny Paycheck comps put out by the Country Music Foundation are also excellent. I knew Robbie was a fan (he does a nice version of Act Like a Married Man on his covers album), but thanks for the heads up on his blog post about her.
