Folk Music Moms

Thursday May 1, 2008
Rhonda VincentMother's Day is barely more than a week away. Just thought I'd give you a little reminder, so that you can have plenty of time to plan something wonderful for your mom.

Meanwhile, let's also take a look at some of the incredible hard-working moms of American folk music. All of these ladies maintain consistent touring and recording schedules in addition to taking care of their children. This year, Mother's Day falls on May 11, 2008—a great opportunity to celebrate all the talented moms of American folk music.
