Great Women of Country is the studio album by Australian country music singers Melinda Schneider and Beccy Cole. It was released through Universal Music Australia in 7 November 2014 and peaked at number 9 on the ARIA Charts.
Background
The collection brings together Schneider and Cole's love of country music. Schneider said she had thought about a tribute album for some time, but the idea to record a joint album was 'a flash of inspiration'. “Both Beccy and I had always thought about doing an album like this individually … but I woke up one morning and the idea wouldn't leave me alone, so I called Beccy and asked: wanna do it together?” Cole said; “They're timeless, they were old even then! These are some of the songs that I drew from to make my own music, to get to pay tribute to them by recording and performing new versions is a great responsibility but such an honour.”[1]
Touring
The pair toured the album between November 2014 and March 2015.[2]
Reception
Ovation Channel said; "Great Women of Country is not just a rich legacy of songs, it is the inevitable collaboration of two of Australia's most accomplished and most experienced country music stars – singers well equipped to reach back and bring forward music that holds a very special place in people's hearts."[3]
