In Today’s episode, I was honored to have the opportunity to talk with beautiful legend and fellow PA gal Ms. Lacy J Dalton!
Lacy J Dalton has one of the most recognizable voices in music with smoothness and grit. In 1979, she won the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Female Vocalist of the Year and was signed by Columbia Records. Widely known as an Outlaw Country artist before her time, she was one of few women who opened for Hank Williams Jr, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Charlie Daniels. One of her Iconic songs, “16th Avenue” was also written by a fellow PA guy Mr. Thomas Schuyler, which became and still is an anthem for Nashville Songwriters!
Among her awards, in 2017 inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame,
2022 Josie Lifetime Career Achievement Award Winner, and Grammys.
In addition to her musical accomplishments, Ms. Dalton has quite a philanthropic side. She co-founded the Let ’em Run Foundation dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing America’s wild horses and burros who have no voice. She spends time working with William James Arts in Corrections program at High Desert State Prison in Susanville, California
