The legendary Jenny Lou Carson (Lucille Overstake) is the first woman to write a #1 country song. We hear her story, plus things get blue as we get into the dirty thirties with a strain of hillbilly music you wouldn't hear on the National Barn Dance. We also hear the story behind the first gay country song.References:Berry, C. (Ed.). (2008). The Hayloft Gang: The Story of the National Barn Dance (Vol. 543).
