Well, there's twanging it up, and there's living a lie. Loretta and Dolly grew up dirt poor in Tennessee. Merle served time in prison, and Cash picked cotton in Arkansas as a kid. If you're talking about pop country, that's another story. Welch's music is better than that, and she's a talented artist, but country is a little special when it comes to "keeping it real," because of its origin and history.
