It's been a theme building up in Country music for months (perhaps years) now, the fact that female artists don't get the same love that male artists get from Country radio. Sheryl Crow today made a case for this with a tweet which is now our Tweet of the Week! See what she said below!
Would someone please play a woman on the radio? Any woman. Doesn't have to be me but if I hear one more bro country song I'm gonna vomit!

We cannot say that we disagree with Sheryl's statement, even if we like (and actually love) many so-called 'bro country' songs. We are huge fans of many female singers and would love if artists like Maggie Rose, Leah Turner, Jana Kramer, Cassadee Pope, Kellie Pickler, Danielle Bradbery, Mickey Guyton, Kelleigh Bannen and Crow herself were able to gain more airplay. It's perhaps a sad state of Country music when seemingly any male artist -- again, we do like most of what we hear on the radio -- can score Top 40 or better hits but females have to be in bands in order to do so in any regularity if not named Underwood, Lambert or Swift.
