The Project
My name is Brenda Cline and I am the Senior Executive Producer and creator of “Women of Song: The Heart and Spirit of Oklahoma.” The project consists of a compilation tribute album, documentary and music video paying homage to the great WOMEN entertainers of OKLAHOMA. Our mission is to honor as many deserving women as possible with a projected release date of Volume 1 in 2021 with follow up volumes annually.
The “Women of Song” project is multi-faceted. Our primary vision is to honor female singers and songwriters of all ages, genres, and professional levels. From aspiring artists tirelessly trying to get noticed, up and comers already in the business to the veteran female artists who have achieved commercial success. We will also proudly honor women who have been inducted into the “Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.”
We are OKLAHOMA PROUD and this project is all about our home-grown talent. The songs recorded will be sung by Oklahomans, written by Oklahomans, and performed by Oklahoma musicians. Of course, a few songs will be all about Oklahoma!
We are excited that most of the artists involved are Native American. We also want to acknowledge that our project team and Board of Directors will include professionals from diversified backgrounds who share a love for music, Oklahoma and specifically this project. Many of those on the “Women of Song” team, including myself, are proud Native American citizens.
Never has there been a recording project such as this honoring Oklahoma women entertainers. This will be a historic endeavor that we believe will garner international attention to our great state of Oklahoma.

The Artists
The Heart & Spirit Of Oklahoma
To meet the interests of music fans of all ages and genres, we have selected Oklahoma Women Hall of Fame inductees along with our rising stars. This project will appeal to all age demographics and will showcase country, western swing, blues, and R&B. We are privileged to announce the following artists for the “Women of Song” tribute album.

Gus Hardin’s soulful blues-tinged country delivery fueled her meteoric launch upon her arrival in Nashville and landed her a record deal with RCA Records. Her 1983 RCA Records debut produced the Top 10 hit Hot Country Hit “After the Last Goodbye,” Several awards soon followed for Gus, including Best New Artist Award from both Billboard and Cashbox in 1983 and the Top New Female Vocalist Award from the Academy of Country Music in 1985.

Known for her kind heart yet gutsy spirited independence, Gus Hardin’s promising career was tragically cut short following a traffic accident on February 17, 1996. Survived by her daughter Toni Jones and her granddaughter Chelsie Johnson, Gus Hardin’s professional legacy was cemented with her 2018 induction into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

One maiden was a Dixie Chick, two have appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, and two have appeared on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.” All three share Native American heritage, hence the name Cherokee Maidens, inspired by Cindy Walker’s 1941 country hit.
