- Join us as we explore Butcher holler where Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle were born.
Loretta Lynn, Kentucky coal miner’s daughter whose frank songs about life and love as a woman in Appalachia pulled her out of poverty and made her a pillar of country music.
I moved to Johnson County around 30 years ago. My cousins took me to Butcher Hollow. This was when Lorettas brother Herman was alive. He owned Webbs grocery and took care of the house. He took us to the house and let us go in and look around. I sat on Lorettas bed. It still had the handmade quilt on it. The living room wallpaper was newspapers. He was the nicest person you could ever meet.
My mom was born in KY, my grandfather, and a LOT of my family were coal miners. Grandpa died of a massive heart attack brought on by black lung. Mom talked about grandpa working in the Van Meer coal mines. We have lost a lot of family to mining accidents and disasters. Coal miners are a totally different kind of person. Tough, hard working and provide as well as they could for their families. I live in Texas and I am very proud of my Kentucky family roots.
Loretta will always be missed her legend will live on in her music. Beautiful horse.
Well said 💕
@@thehillbillyfiles Thank you.
I always wanted to go to Loretta Lynn‘s place at my age I reckon it’s not gonna happen but through your videos it’s like I’m there. Thank you.
My mom’s favorite country artist and grew to become mine.
Now a days people don't know who she is, My man, Mamaw, and my mama loved her, My daddy too. Loved Dolly. It's 😢 😢 My daddy sang and played guitar in a band😢He taught me to play. Now I'm crying. I'm from Kentucky. 😭Oh the memories. Bluegrass music, Mountain roads with no guardrails,sassafras tea ,homemade molasses.
I love Loretta Lynn!! She is my favorite. So is Conway Twitty.
🔥🔥🔥 I always know I’m close to home when I see Heiners bread and Miracle whip salad dressing. I grew up about an hour from Van Lear, nice tour and video.👍🏻

Her mother was a Ramey. 1st cousin to my grandmother My mother was born in Blaine KY
Awesome! Thanks for joining, your sure a hillbilly by blood! It always calls your interest to the mountains and hills organically!
Love that music you used in the beginning of this vid🥰
My mother loved Loretta Lynn's music,she had all of her albums along w Johnny cash's
Thank you for this video. The road leading to the house was so slim!
You are welcome!
Beautiful country. Thanks for the video.
Wow! That’s no shack that she grew up in! I realize there were 8 people living there, but wow, doesn’t seem they were so poor as other coal miner families. Is the home still in the family? When was it last lived in? Any history where/what her siblings have done, besides Crystal? Thanks for such a well job done in all your videos. So happy your channel fell into my feed🎯
I believe the house is a replica of the original one. Most of her siblings followed her into the music business has writers and singers.
Beautiful area
She took her vows seriously, not as modern women do. A much admired woman.
To bad her husband didn’t.
Well. I had no idea that Loretta and Crystal were sisters!

Hello Leo and Heather
Thank you, Heather and Leo for this interesting video, wish you could have gone in, or at least got closer to the house. I have a question, what exactly is a "holler" and how/why did they get that name? This Westerner is curious.😊
They do have some videos online showing the house inside if you want to check it out =)
Good thing you didn't meet a coal truck. They are know killers
Is that Horse a Mustang? Lol
