Loyal country music fans have been seeking autographs from their favorite stars all the way back to ... well, since there were country music stars. For buyers and sellers, the right autograph can mean shelling out or raking in some serious bucks.

Why We Dig Her: This 22 year-old Southern belle seems like she's seen it all in her short life. Singing since she was four, with a rock guitarist father and a torch singer mother, Jesse is stealing the spotlight with her edgy lyrics and youthful voice. Compared to artists like Patsy Cline and Taylor Swift, her unique fusion between classic and contemporary country has been catching the attention of critics and fans alike.

The Winchester, Va. home where Patsy Cline lived as a teenager may soon be open to the public. Celebrating Patsy Cline Inc. owns the house where the country legend lived with her family from 1948 - 1953. The organization has asked government officials to consider changing the city's zoning ordinance to allow museums in the neighborhood.

"It was from this house that her career blossomed with many performances as a teenager, singing in Winchester and surrounding areas," CPC President Judy Sue Huyett-Kempf tells The Winchester Star. "From this house, fans can follow the path left by this famous icon in country music."
