Loretta Lynn Fan Website

And it all started with, as Loretta Lynn says, a “patting foot” because you love country music. Some of your best memories are of listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio or watching it on TV

Featuring Johnny Cash in his last film interview. Also featuring Rosanne Cash, Loretta Lynn, Little Jimmy Dickens, Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs and Chris Jones. A beautifully produced companion volume to the Public Television documentary narrated by Naomi Judd, The Appalachians fills the void in information about the region, offering a rich portrait of its history and its legacy in music, literature, and film. Hardcover, Pages 288

Airing during 1978-1979, how they assembled this set is a bit unclear. Some of the episodes on this set are actually listed as second season in some cases. No matter, we're confident the powers that be won't put an episode on two separate sets – so enjoy. Our favorite? Gilda Radner. And Harry Belafonte. And Loretta Lynn

Don't Temp Me Baby a duet with Loretta Lynn Todd Snider will be released later this year on Todds unNamed Cd..

Walk Hard," a parody of musical biopics, walks a fine line between imitation and mockery. It is the latest effort by Judd Apatow, who takes director, Jake Kasdan (Lawrence Kasdan's son), on board as co-writer. Though the satire is hit-and-miss, the film works best when taking a sweet-natured approach to the genre's sanctimonious fixation on rags-to-riches bios. The music, featuring more than 20 songs written specifically for the film, is a hoot.Besides having fun with "Ray," the defiled include Johnny Cash's, "Walk The Line," Bobby Darin's, "Beyond The Sea," Loretta Lynn's, "Coal Miner's Daughter," and the "Buddy Holly Story." Some skewering is humorous, others are as tedious as its source material. One of the latter casts an uncredited Jonah Hill as the nagging, grown-up ghost of Dewey's dead brother.

Book explores life of Joltin’ Jim McCoy
W.Va. music man first put Patsy Cline on radio in 1940s

By Christine Miller Ford
Special to The Winchester Star

BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. — With Patsy Cline’s popularity still strong nearly a half-century after her death in a Tennessee plane crash, it’s hardly a surprise that those closest to her find themselves in the spotlight, too.

Jim McCoy, the 78-year-old West Virginia-born singer, songwriter, and disc jockey who put Cline on the radio when she was just 14, is the subject of a new book by John Douglas, a free-lance writer and the editor of Berkeley Springs’ weekly newspaper .

"Joltin’ Jim: Jim McCoy’s Life In Country Music’’ features anecdotes about McCoy’s long career, including his years of working with musical acts at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester and decades of interactions with country music stars — not just Cline, but also Ernest Tubb, Dottie West, George Jones, Buck Owens, Loretta Lynn, and others.

The book includes photographs from McCoy’s collection that show him with Tubb (his idol and mentor since his teenage years), Little Jimmy Dickens (who these days shows up in music videos with fellow West Virginian Brad Paisley), Ray Price (the singer and songwriter who performed with Hank Williams, Roger Miller, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Paycheck) — and others.

"Joltin’ Jim: Jim McCoy’s Life In Country Music’’ features anecdotes about McCoy’s long career, including his years of working with musical acts at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester and decades of interactions with country music stars — not just Cline, but also Ernest Tubb, Dottie West, George Jones, Buck Owens, Loretta Lynn, and others.

The story of how Cline — then known by her birth name, Virginia Hensley — won a spot on McCoy’s Saturday morning radio show on Winchester’s WINC, after an impromptu audition became something of a legend, but readers might not be aware of McCoy’s other ties to Cline.

For example, he served as one of the pallbearers when Cline was laid to rest in Shenandoah Memorial Park outside Winchester on a Sunday afternoon in March 1963.

And in the years after her death, McCoy grew closer to Cline’s widower, Charlie Dick, visiting with him during trips to Winchester as well as at Dick’s home in Nashville, Tenn.

The series is presented in eight thematic volumes, including Queens Of Country (Tammy Wynette, “Stand By Your Man”), Duets (Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, “After The Fire Is Gone”), Pioneers (Hank Snow, “I'm Moving On”), and Honky Tonk Heroes (George Jones, “The Race Is On”).

Time Life will also issue a single volume of Opry Video Classics, featuring such classics as Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire,” Loretta Lynn's “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” Conway Twitty’s “Hello Darlin’” and Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.

We Sure Make Good Love offers old-fashioned non-family values: (Jones) "We never will go down in history / as the all-American family. / The house needs paintin' and the ceiling leaks. / But you understand / I'm no handy man. ..." (Loretta Lynn) "I won't be noted for my fine cuisine / unless you're in the front baking them beans. / Domestic life has never been my thing. / Between me and you / there's one thing we can do. / (Both) We sure make good love. That's more than enough. / It makes up for what we mess up. / We sure make good love.
