Gillian Welch - Tennessee

Now here, in female country, there would be many contenders for the virtual title of #MacAmate. The first would be Iris De Ment, but the girl certainly doesn't shine in terms of beauty; after all, I'm just an underdeveloped hominid who certainly admired Dolly Parton's curves!

But the extraordinary blonde - actress, songwriter (she wrote "uitneiùston") - singer, and all-around talent is from Tennessee. And that’s where my Gillian kicks in. But then there's the fabulous Emmylou Harris from Alabama, the one seen in "The Last Waltz" (don't say anything!) singing "Evangeline."

Which one to choose?

I lean towards Welch (Noble surname) only because I assume you've all seen Scorsese's film, and if not, you don't deserve to live.
