Williams is being inducted into the ACL Hall of Fame this year, along with Wilco and Alejandro Escovedo.

Williams' critically acclaimed 'Car Wheels on a Gravel Road' turns 23 in 2021.

Nearly six months later, she's still recuperating, but her prognosis is extremely positive.

Not all first releases have been hot sellers -- even albums by artists who would soon come to define and influence country music.

We still listen to these regularly!

Whether you're a country fan or not, these albums are must-listens!
