"Everybody deserves their own Patsy Cline." So said Loretta Lynn of her friendship with her fellow singer, crediting Cline for instilling the faith and strength that forever changed her as a person.
Patsy and Loretta may have departed, but the trail they blazed for women in country music, and the bonds of female friendship, has not. In fact, female friendship and solidarity has always kept the world turning, but we'll take any opportunity, formal or informal, to celebrate it.
Galentine's Day, marked on 13th February, is a chance to do just that. Women have not always been given their dues in country music, but we've found plenty of bangers celebrating the sanctity of sticking together; where secrets aren’t always kept for fun, but for survival, and revenge is best served alongside a friend in a getaway car.
So whatever Galentine's means to you; whether you've got a circle of cherished female pals or you're still looking for your Patsy, whether you're freshly single off a break up, long term free from the clutches of a good for nothing deadbeat, ready for a night out with the girls or simply want to celebrate some of the best country music anthems by women then - just like the gals - we’ve got your back.
