We sat down with the music icon earlier this month September 5th, in St. Louis, MO to chat about her inductions into the Steel Guitar Players Hall of Fame and Country Music Hall of Fame, her late father Irby Mandrell, affluent beliefs as a devout Christian, fondness for her precious daughter-in-law Christy Sutherland, and various highlights from her blazing career in the country music biz plus much more!!

We'd like to thank Ms. Mandrell, her husband Kenneth, and wonderful son Matthew for helping make this interview possible. We are very grateful to share Barbara's timeless legacy with our beloved readers. CSC 1. Congrats on your induction into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame! What does this induction mean to you as a fellow steel player and one of the very few women to say the least?

Barbara Mandrell. Thanks Christian. My father Irby, who has died this past year, he knew about this induction before he went home to heaven and he was as excited as you can imagine. It meant just as much to him as it did to me. I had been playing about six months when I had gotten my first job in Las Vegas, and then from there I became a regular on a television show called town hall party and that was all from the steel guitar and also saxophone.

I met Mike and hired Mike my last twenty-one years in the business. So, I encourage women to play the steel guitar; we play with a lot of feeling too you know.
