LORETTA LYNN FAN WEBSITE

Loretta Lynn Me & Patsy Kickin up Dust Books release date April 7th forward by Dolly 

Two of the greatest LORETTA Lp's Released for the first time ever on CD With 8 Bonus Tracks

One of the most beloved country music stars of all time gives us the first collection of her lyrics and, in her own words, tells the stories that inspired her most popular songs, such as "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin'," and, of course, "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl."

Loretta Lynn's rags-to-riches story--from her hardscrabble childhood in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, through her marriage to Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn when she was thirteen, to her dramatic rise to the top of the charts--has resonated with countless fans throughout her more than fifty-year career. Now, the anecdotes she shares here give us deeper insight into her life, her collaborations, her influences, and how she pushed the boundaries of country music by discussing issues important to working-class women, even when they were considered taboo. Readers will also get a rare look at the singer's handwritten lyrics and at personal photographs from her childhood, of her family, and of her performing life. Honky Tonk Girl: A Life in Lyrics is one more way for Lynn's fans--those who already love her and those who soon will--to know the heart and mind of this remarkable woman

Release date Aug 2011 Jack White Produced Grammy-Winner on Vinyl for the First Time!

This 2004 album paired the legendary Loretta Lynn with Jack White at the production helm and was met with overwhelmingly glowing praise from fans and critics alike. With all songs penned solely by Lynn, the vibe here is both raw and heartfelt. Van Lear Rose won the 2005 Grammy for Best Country Album and the lead single "Portland, Oregon" won that same year for Best Country Collaboration with vocals.

Mastered directly from the original analog masters, pressed on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl and coupled with a vibrant stoughton tip-on sleeve, the Van Lear Rose LP is one that no collection is complete without.

Here is the list of the classics included in this collection: “Two Mules Pulled This Wagon” “Saint To A Sinner” ”How Great Thou Art” ”Wine, Women and Song” ”Dear Uncle Sam” “Your Chearting Heart” “Blue Kentucky Girl” “The Race is On” “We Must Be Out of Our Minds” “You Ain’t Woman Enough” "Go On and Go" "You Don't Have To Be A Baby To Cry" "Bargain Basement Dress" "What Kind of A Girl (Do You Think I Am)" “Fist City” "If Loneliness Can Kill Me" "It's Such A Pretty World Today" "The Home You're Tearin' Down" "Don't Come Home A Drinkin'” "The Third Man" (gospel) "Wanted Woman" "I Won't Forget You" "Jackson Ain't A Very Big Town" "Put It Off Until Tomorrow" with Wilburn Brothers "Harper Valley PTA" "The Only Time I Hurt" “Cry, Cry, Cry” "I'll Sure Come A Long Way Down" Loretta Lynn & Ernest Tubb - "Who's Gonna Take The Garbage Out" “What Makes Me Tick” "What Kind of A Girl (Do You Think I Am)" “Crazy Out Of My Mind” "You Wanna Give Me A Lift" Loretta Lynn & Teddy Wilburn - "Will You Visit Me On Sunday" "Today I Started Loving You Again"

Over 80 minutes of JUST LORETTA.

New England alt-country and Americana singer/songwriter Eilen Jewell pays tribute to groundbreaking country icon Loretta Lynn, a woman Jewell describes as "our national treasure", with the new Butcher Holler project arriving July 27 via Signature Sounds. "We pay homage to her humble roots and straightforward, hard-hitting performance style," say Jewell. "All of the songs in this collection were written by Lynn herself and are a testament not only to her strength as a songwriter but to her personal strength as well. In the 60's and 70's, Loretta Lynn dared to write songs about topics that were widely considered off-limits, especially for women. The fact that her words still hit a nerve today is proof of their timelessness."

Butcher Holler's twelve sharply delivered performances - nearly all under three minutes each - feature a handful of Lynn classic hits such as "Ain't Woman Enough (to Take My Man)" and "Don't Come Home Drinkin' (with Lovin' On Your Mind)", songs that helped define Lynn as a pioneer in music that praised strong-willed, confident women. Jewell also digs up lesser known tracks from the extensive Lynn songbook, presenting them with her own expressive vocals and backed by her fine longrunning band. The production is crisp and spare, with up-right bass, pedal steel and electric tremelo twang adding both timeless authenticity and surprisingly rootsy contemporary edge. Recommended.

Great Lost Hits.

Jones notched 17 Top 10 hits during his tenure at Musicor and they're all collected here. Some of the most famous titles in that bunch are "Walk Through This World With Me," "A Good Year for the Roses," "Things Have Gone to Pieces" and "When the Grass Grows Over Me." Loretta Lynn earns a writing credit on "World of Forgotten People," while Tammy Wynette pulls double duty as composer and harmony vocalist on "Never Grow Cold." The liner notes by Colin Escott offer a keen perspective on this time in Jones' life, just before he married Wynette and recorded with producer Billy Sherrill at Epic Records.

Because of the spare production, the Musicor recordings don't feel dated. Instead, it's sort of like discovering a stash of sterling demo tapes. And the topics here are certainly timeless -- cheating, drinking, dying, lying and (occasionally) loving. Some of these songs became famous later, such as Emmylou Harris' soothing hit version of "Beneath Still Waters," Patty Loveless' emotional take on "If My Heart Had Windows" and George Strait's boisterous rendition of "Love Bug." But on these original versions, Jones proves himself as one of the most expressive vocalists that Nashville has ever known.

The “Concerts for All Musical Tastes” chapter is terrific, featuring photographs and stories that remind one of some of the great musical acts that have played this enormous hall. Reed includes some great stories from his days covering the venue: The tale about Loretta Lynn proves especially fascinating, as does the one about Elvis and the author's wife.

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.

Grand Ole Opry fans will relish classic performances by Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and George Jones, among others, with the DVD release of Opry Video Classics on Nov. 20.

Opry Video Classics is comprised of 120 performances from the 1950s to the '70s, featuring many live television appearances captured on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry for more than 30 years.

Most of the performances have never before been available commercially. 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.

(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.
