Norma Jean - The Only Way To Hold Your Man '1973

Tracks list

"Pretty Miss Norma Jean" may be best remembered as Porter Wagoner's stage
partner before he was paired with Dolly Parton, but she was also well known for
an often hard-edged group of songs that spoke of poverty, hard work, and the
instability of romantic relationships. Although she didn't have the songwriting
creativity of Loretta Lynn or Dolly Parton, she was comparable to those stars in
her general outlook. Norma Jean Beasler was no stranger to poverty herself, born
into a hard-working farm family near Wellston, OK. As a child, she wanted to be
a country star like Kitty Wells, whom she tried to emulate. She made her
professional debut singing "If Teardrops Were Pennies" at age 12 on the radio in
Oklahoma City. In high school, she toured with a few Western swing bands,
including those of Billy Gray and Merle Lindsay.
