Legacy

Loretta Lynn was an American country singer and songwriter, born on April 14, 1932 in Butcher Holler, Kentucky. She passed away on October 4, 2022 in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Widowed from Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn and sister to Crystal Gayle, Jay Lee Webb, and Peggy Sue. Loretta was a mother to Peggy Lynn, Patsy Lynn, Ernest Ray Lynn, and Cissie Lynn. She also had the joy of being a grandmother to Tayla Lynn.

With her distinctive voice and powerful songwriting skills, Loretta became one of the most influential figures in country music history. Her honest lyrics touched the hearts of millions around the world. Loretta's talent earned her numerous accolades throughout her career.

Inspired by artists such as Tammy Wynette, Kitty Wells, and Patsy Cline among others; Loretta's music resonated with fans who appreciated her raw emotion and relatable storytelling. Her contributions to the genre will forever be remembered.

Loretta Lynn's album Wouldn't It Be Great. Available here on LP and CD.

Wouldn’t It Be Great, is one of the most deeply personal projects of Loretta’s career. Originally scheduled to be released in August 2017, this album was put on hold as Loretta worked through recovering from a stroke she suffered in May 2017. Wouldn’t It Be Great communicates the hard truths and spiritual insights Loretta has gathered throughout her life and reflects the resilience that sustains her still.

Comprised entirely of songs written or co-written by Loretta, the album premieres new compositions (“Ruby’s Stool,” “Ain’t No Time To Go”) alongside select soulful reinterpretations of classics from her catalog. Wouldn’t It Be Great demonstrates Loretta’s enduring strength, both within herself and within the stories she shares in these songs.

This is the third release in the series of Cash Cabin recordings and like Full Circle and White Christmas Blue, was produced by John Carter Cash (son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash) and Patsy Lynn Russell (Loretta’s daughter).

Loretta Lynn is a living legend and an American treasure. She’s one of the most awarded musicians of all time and has been inducted into more music Halls of Fame than any other female recording artist. A self-taught singer, songwriter and performer, Loretta Lynn is the embodiment of American music, a singular artist whose music defined a genre and whose songs continue to inform new generations. Her last studio album, Full Circle, earned Loretta a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album.
