Juice Newton

Juice Newton, born Judith Kay Newton in Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1952, sits right at the seam where pop and country met in the early 1980s. Five Grammy nominations across Pop and Country female-vocalist categories, with a 1983 win, plus an ACM Top New Female Artist award and back-to-back Billboard female album honors, tell me she was no one-hit novelty. What I find interesting is that she's a guitarist and songwriter, not just a voice for hire. That crossover instinct, refusing to pick a single genre lane, is probably exactly why her records traveled so well across formats.
