Country newcomer Hailey Whitters created a motley playlist of sorts in a recent Instagram post that includes her influences going all the way back to Alanis Morissette\u2019s Jagged Little Pill<\/em> from 1995. <\/p>\n

That was back when Whitters was in kindergarten, but it stuck with her. As did the music of Trisha Yearwood, the Dixie Chicks, Avril Lavigne, Dolly Parton, Brandy Clark, Matraca Berg, Maren Morris and Lori McKenna. <\/p>\n

In the post, Whitters explains that she doesn\u2019t necessarily seek out just female influences, but that she could never make her own music without theirs. <\/p>\n

When I was in kindergarten, a high school boy used to get on the school bus and walk to the back everyday with a boombox on his shoulder playing @alanis Jagged Little Pill, the first song I remember learning by heart was @trishayearwood \u201cShe\u2019s in Love With The Boy\u201d, the @dixie_chicks were the reason I wrote my first song, on a family vacation to the amusement park when I was 13, I broodily listened to @avrillavigne\u2019s Let Go record on repeat all the way to St. Louis and back\u2026 I still remember the first time I ever heard @dollyparton voice in an Arkansas souvenir shop. Still to this day, when I need a drink from \u201cthe well\u201d, I look in the work of my sisters: @thebrandyclark, @matracaberg, @marenmorris, @lorimckennama and so many others\u2026 Gender is never a cognizant thought when choosing my music, but there\u2019s no denying a significant part of my soul is touched and fed by the female perspective. I can\u2019t imagine my music without theirs. Thank you @thefader for sharing my #DreamGirl playlist. \u2728 link in bio.<\/a><\/p>\n
