When Barbara Mandrell took the stage for her final musical performance on October 23, 1997, she probably didn't realize that less than a decade later, some of the artists she influenced would come together for a tribute in her honor. But that's exactly what is happening, and the result will be a collection of songs from one of the most significant performers of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. She Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool: A Tribute To Barbara Mandrell will be released October 10 on BNA Records.

Among her many accolades, Barbara was the first artist to win the CMA Entertainer Of The Year for two consecutive years and has won multiple awards from the CMA, ACM, American Music Awards, Grammys, People's Choice Awards and a Dove Award. Her variety show, Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters, on NBC drew millions of viewers weekly, and she has starred in numerous television shows, including her farewell performance at Nashville's Opry House, a sell-out concert titled "Barbara Mandrell and The Do-Rites: The Last Dance."
She Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool: A Tribute to Barbara Mandrell will be released October 10 on BNA Records. Other artists on the album include Reba McEntire, Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Sara Evans, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Owen, Lorrie Morgan, Willie Nelson and Shelby Lynne.
