Meet 26-year-old Lindsay Ell, an up-and-coming Canadian musician hailed as the youngest mainstream female country artist playing electric lead guitar. Trust us, Lindsay isn't just another blonde in boots — she can rock with the best of 'em. She told Rolling Stone Country, "I've had people joke, 'you play guitar like a guy,'" adding, "I take that as a compliment. But if they can look at me on the same plane as any guitar player and just call me 'good' as they would a guy, then I've definitely done something right."
The singer-guitarist just finished up a European tour with Luke Bryan (yeah, we're jealous), and her new single "By the Way" is the No. 1 most added song at US Country Radio this week. Lindsay exclusively shared some of her favorite country girl-power songs with us — listen to the Spotify playlist below for some female empowerment with twang:
