‘American Idol’: Emmy Russell Has Famous Country Singing Grandma
American Idol viewers are in for a real treat on the next episode of one of the world’s largest talent competition shows. They will be able to see the audition of a true heir to the country music throne. This episode can be seen on ABC next Sunday at 7 p.m. central time.
Who Is Emmy Russell?
Emmy Russell is not just any singer with high hopes of becoming the next country music superstar with the help of American Idol. She is a singer who has country music in her DNA. The potential for greatness racing through her veins. This is all courtesy of her grandmother.
Emmy Russell is the daughter of Philip and Patsy Lynn Russell. Patsy Lynn Russell is the daughter of the late Loretta Lynn. That makes Emmy Russell the granddaughter to “The Queen of Country Music,” the original queen.
Emmy Russell’s Country Music Experience
Just because you are the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn and your mother is named after the great “Crazy” singer, Patsy Cline, doesn’t mean you automatically have the pipes to make it big in the country music world. That is not the case with Emmy Russell. She has already proven she has the voice to do well in the country music industry.
Emmy Russell has already made her debut at the Grand Ol’ Opry in April of last year. Russell took to the stage like it was made for her and performed “Memaw’s Guitar.” The song was a tribute to her grandmother, Loretta Lynn.

“Lay Me Down” is a duet originally recorded by Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson. Although the original version is absolutely terrific, Emmy Russell and Lukas Nelson were nominated for the CMT Performance of the Year award. That happened in 2023.
