Kitty Wells, Queen of Country Music, Dead at Age 92

.
Even as we continue to celebrate the music of the late WOODY GUTHRIE, who would have been 100 years old this past Saturday, word arrived Tuesday of the passing of the great Nashville icon, KITTY WELLS.
.
DOLLY PARTON released the following statement minutes ago:
.
"Kitty Wells was the first and only Queen of Country Music, no matter what they call the rest of us. She was a great inspiration to me as well as every other female singer in the country music business. In addition to being a wonderful asset to country music, she was a wonderful woman. We will always remember her fondly."
