C. Alison Brown
D. Dale Ann Bradley
E. Wilma Lee Cooper
F. Molly Tuttle
G. None of the above, what does The Wall Street Journal care about bluegrass?

ANSWER is “A”

Additional Bowden Comments

I bet some of those other women thought “really?!?!”

I think by rights Alison Krauss “should have been” so named.

We’ll see if Molly Tuttle has staying power and the desire to stay bluegrass.
