Background notes

Archive material and source history

Kitty Wells was born Muriel Ellen Deason in Nashville in 1919. She started singing on local radio stations and played guitar with her brother's group, the Deason Trio, in the late 1930s.

Her 1952 single "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" became a hit that changed things for women in country music. The song's perspective, which questioned the judgment women faced, felt different from what was usually heard.

She had other hits like "Release Me" and "Making Believe" in the mid-1950s, and songs such as "Hey Joe" and "According To My Heart" are part of her catalog.
