ALBUM

This Is Jean Shepard (1959)

An early Capitol Records album that collects a range of honky-tonk and country material, including tracks like 'A Satisfied Mind' and 'The Other Woman'. It gives a solid picture of her direct, no-frills vocal style in the late 1950s.

All of This Is Jean Shepard
Artist

Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard was born in 1933 in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, and grew up to become one of the few women in the 1950s to build a full country music career on her own terms. Her family moved to California, where she got her start, and she made her name with hard-edged honky-tonk vocals and songs that dealt directly with love and heartbreak. She recorded for Capitol Records and became a long-standing member of the Grand Ole Opry.
