Loretta Lynn is a country legend. She is a singer song writer who's music has spanned 6 decades. She was also friends with the great late Patsy Cline. Her younger sister Crystal Gayle also is a great singer. She grew up dirt poor & stayed humble & true to her roots. The autobiographical movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" is worth looking at. Sadly we lost Loretta last year.
Loretta was the undisputed queen of country music. She just died recently at the age of 90 and was still writing and releasing music. What a wonderful legacy
@@olivegreenpants7153 Loretta Lynn was born in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky on April 14, 1932. Born. Loretta Webb.April 14, 1932. Died, October 4, 2022 (aged 90). Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, U.S (confirmed by her daughter Peggy.) Loretta Lynn/Wedding date 10 January 1948 to Oliver Lynn She was 15 years old and turned 16 3 months later. She got pregnant for her 1st child a month after her marriage so she was 15 when she conceived and 16 when Betty was born.
I was raised very similar to Loretta Lynn...i was raised in a holler also and i didn't live in home with indoor plumbing till i was 20 years old..I'm the ninth child of 10 children..so i can relate to Loretta and her songs and also Dolly..they are my 2 favorite singer's of all time
Coal Miner's Daughter is an autobiographical song. There is also a movie by the same name about Loretta's life up through her rise to fame. It includes the story of her close friendship with Patsy Cline. Sissy Spacek played Loretta and won an Oscar for her performance.
Her autobiography is a great read. Ms. Lynn had a lot of input during the production of the movie version, resulting in an accurate and highly engaging screen adaptation. She was a very special person.
I am a coal miner's granddaughter. My father left the coal country when he was 17 to keep from having to work in the mines. He joined the Army and served 34 years. He grew up not far from where Loretta is singing about. Hard life.
Most of my relatives worked in the coal mines. I grew up not far from Loretta’s hometown. I have relatives that still leave there. Have lived in Texas for 50 years and still miss those mountains
@@deniseallen5449 I am a coalminer's grandson. As I related above he was killed. Mom and her family grew up and lived in Enterprise, WV. Mom's older brother joined the Navy, and Mom and her younger sister married sailors. That was one way out. My Dad was one of 5 children of a sharecropper. He joined the Navy so he didn't have to pick oranges, strawberries, peppers, whatever was in season. That was a way out.
My father was pulled out of school after the 6th grade in Alabama by his parents and forced to work in the coal mines to help support their family. My mom was pulled out of school in the 8th grade in Alabama and forced to work in the fields picking cotton to help support her family. My grandparents were share croppers back then. She used to tell me she picked so much cotton her fingers would bleed. My parents eventually met, married and left Alabama when they were old enough to be on their own. They made a good life for us kids with the limited education they received. They had a hard life and I wish I would have told them how much I appreciated the upbringing they gave us kids before they passed away.
I worked at a concert venue in high school. In 1978, I was at the concert with Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, in Lexington Kentucky. I do believe the entire population of Butcher Holler, Kentucky was in attendance that night. After the concert, Loretta and Conway sat at a table in front of the stage for over 2 hours signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. Not a single complaint from either of them. They must have been exhausted. So much class!
She was born and raised dirt poor...bit she died a trailblazing, pioneering, Legendary Country Music Queen with a net worth of $65,000,000. She didn't need the money, but continued to write songs until she died at 90 years old...loving God, her family, her "Friends" (as she called us fans), and writing songs...never forgetting her roots and very humble beginnings. When asked how she would want to be remembered, she said just as a good person who didn't hurt anyone.
This song is more than just a song, it’s a snapshot of an entire lifestyle and culture of poor mountain life after the Great Depression. Very few songwriters would have the skill to produce this. This thing about being “poor but happy” seems to have disappeared theses days. This song gives us a lot to think about.
Movie of the same name Coal Miner's Daughter, Sissy Spacek actress played Loretta Lynn. Loretta Lynn was always on set somewhere nearby and hung out with Sissy Spacek. Sissy Spacek sang all the songs herself. Beverly D'Angelo played Patsy Cline she also sang all her own songs. Levon Helms from 'The Band', drummer and lead singer, played Loretta Lynn's father. The movie is a must-watch something for you to do in your off time. Also Stars Tommy Lee Jones as Loretta Lynn's husband,Doo.
She always reminds me of my grandmother. It's similar to her story growing up in rural North Carolina during the Great Depression. I asked my grandmother about her father once because I never met him and she never mentioned him. She said she had the best father. He would let the children take a mid-day break for lunch when working the fields. And he would keep the fire stoked while she was on a "date" in the livingroom. Mind-blowingly different life than ours.
People don't realize how brutal a blue-collar coal job was in the 20th century. You worked for the company who owned the town who owned the shops. It was a meager living back then.
Loretta Lynn has many songs to choose from. They're ALL great & Loretta is a great songwriter. You should also check out her duets with Conway Twitty You won't be sorry you did. Loretta hold the record for having had 17 songs banned by Country radio & each time they became hits. I miss Loretta so much! Musically she has been a part of my life. Loretta & Conway were the best of friends & are singing together again in Heaven. They are my favorite duet team.
Hearing Loretta speak so lovingly of her dad reminds me of the saying here in the American south, "Southern women are hell to get along with because nobody treats them as well as daddy did". I had one of those kinds of dads myself. 😊
Oh that brought some tears when she started talking about her daddy. Mine went to be with the Lord 30 years ago, but I still miss him and have many memories of growing up with him over the years. Loretta Lynn, when she passed, was a national treasure here in America. She wrote almost all of her songs, this one included. Many country songs are autobiographical. That's why people like Loretta and Dolly Parton are so admired. They wrote about what they knew. They both had hard lives when they were growing up, but the hardness was softened by the filter of memory. May she rest in peace.
The Queen of Country Music always! One of the greatest song writers. Her stats are amazing. What a wonderful analysis Harri. Great reaction! She was a great story teller. Great pick BEK.
That instrument is called the Pedal Steel Guitar. In the beginning, there was just a normal guitar with raised strings that the player put on his lap and played with a round polished steel bar. That way of playing was invented in Hawaii in 1885 by Young Joseph Kekukuupenaokamehamehakanaiaupuni Apuakehau, or Kekuku, for short. Soon special lap steel guitar were built, like the Weissenborn guitar or the squareneck resonator guitar. The first electric lap steel guitar was built in 1931 by George Beauchamp in the United States. It was called the Frying Pan, for obvious reasons. Google it. Soon models with more than one neck were built (now played while standing - the guitar had legs like a table) because players liked to play with different tunings and changing the tuning between songs on stage was not practical. Some people experimented with ways to change the tuning of single strings, first with pedal-mounted Bowden cables (bicycle brake cables) and soon with pedal-mounted metal rods. That became the final form of the Pedal Steel Guitar. They usually come with one or two "necks" (well, parallel sets of strings with different tunings, like in the video) and with a set of pedals and knee levers that allow the player to change the tuning of one or more strings while playing. Over time, many classic pedal steel lick were invented that are typical for the Country Music sound. Notable players are Ralph Mooney, Don Helms, Tom Brumley, Paul Fraklin, and my favorite, Buddy Emmons.
This song tells my mother's story. They had a house in town and 100 acres of farmland in the valley. Her father, my grandfather, worked the farm and was the electrician at the mine. One night, when my mom was 9 years old, there was a heavy thunderstorm and lightning hit the switchgear killing power to the mine. When the power goes out the ventilation shuts down and that leads to the buildup of explosive and flammable gasses. My grandfather went to work on the power. Lightning struck again and killed my grandfather. They held a wake, which was literally sitting up with the open casket on the dining room table to make sure he was dead before they buried him. To the end of her life my mom would not go to a viewing and look. she would offer condolences in a side room. This was in the early 1930s. Grandma raised her three children in town on a small union pension, taking in laundry and tailor/seamstress work, selling Avon, and canning produce from the farm that one of her brothers worked and they shared the proceeds.
"Coal Miner's Daughter " is one of the songs that brings me to tears. The honest truth about family life back then is very moving. I would like to recommend a song that has great vocals, but also great instrumentation that includes unique guitar playing. This style of guitar playing is a style I'd love to know more about. Take care!
Loretta was the queen of county, and there’ll never be another quite like her. She has many wonderful songs, including Fist City and Love is the Foundation.
she was one of the nicest people i ever talked too, i took my mom and dad to see her we had front row seats and she stopped the music and talked to me and that just made my parents day, she was a wonderful beautiful person, rip loretta and thank you for the wonderful memories.
Blue Eye Kansan -Considered by many to be the Queen of Country Music (Dolly Parton notwithstanding) This is my favorite Loretta Lynn song by her, "Coal Miner's Daughter'. Great submission and review. 👏👏👏👏
This is her story of her childhood. There is also a Movie about her life called Coalminers Daughter. It is fantastic! She was one of the strongest women I've known. She wrote songs about her life and her experiences. She wrote songs that were controversial at the time. The Pill is one of them.
Loretta has so many songs. You’re starting a super run. I never recommend that folks watch movies, but the movie about her life is amazing. “Coal Miners Daughter”. You can’t even imagine where she comes from.
My dad (now 88) was a huge fan of her, especially her famous duets with Conway Twitty. I was lucky to grow up hearing her music, but as a kid I didn't really appreciate it. As I've aged & gotten older, I've rediscovered her music & just love her story telling abilities through songs. My favorites are - You aint woman enough, The pill, Fist city, & You're the reason our kids are ugly. 🤣
Loretta was definitely the Queen of country music. some other songs she wrote that you will find amusing are Fist City, You Ain't Woman Enough and The Pill I always appreciate your sincere reactions.
A couple years before she passed, I heard her doing "Ain't No Time To Go, Darling". A return to Old Timey music seems a return to timelessness, including heavy subjects like death. She, herself was staring it in the eye, and expressed it all through music and singing.
To change the pronunciation of a name ending with "a" to an "ie" sound is a very old dialect in Eastern Kentucky. Not many people in my family did it, but my grandma did. Her sisters were named Edna, Georgia and Geneva, and she pronounced those names Ednie, Georgie, and Genevie. My daughter was working on her genealogy and when I told her that, she said, "Oh! That explains a lot of the trouble I've been having with spelling variations!"
I worked at George Jones music park in the 80's. I answered the phone in the office & it was her asking for Corn-way haha. Conway was doing a show that weekend there. That was the best & most fun job i ever had as it was for everyone in this rinky dink town lol.
I am sure you would love Loretta's younger sister, Crystal Gayle who is stunning with a beautiful voice. Her biggest international hit was Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, 1977.
I recommend the Fusion Orchestra for reaction, the album "Skeleton In Armor" in 1973, I personally liked the songs "Sonata In Z" and "Have I Left the Gas On?"
She wrote most of her songs. Listen to "Fist City", Don't Come home a Drinkin!" and "you ain't woman enough" Songs written by her and her own perspective, experiences and observation.
I recommend the movie about her life, also called Coal Miner’s Daughter. It’s excellent, and I don’t know if you know the actress Sissy Spacek, but she portrayed Loretta in the movie.
Hi! This is also a movie you should see- Also called “Coal Miners Daughter-The Loretta Lynn Story.” FANTASTIC movie! Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones played the couple soooo well. You really should check it out! 🙂
I remember going on leave from the Air Force and 77 or 78 and we went to see the movie coal miner's daughter me my mom my sister maybe her kids and they were holding off some more family! Yes the movie was based on the life of Loretta Lynn she got married at the age of 14 2M guy who had served in the Korean War, and he was about 21 or 22 was pregnant before she was 15 and I think before or just after the baby was born, they left butcher holler and went to a whole other state because her husband did not want to be a coal miner. The country western singer Crystal Gayle is Loretta Lynn's baby sister. she was not even born yet when Loretta Lynn was married and having babies of her own. You should be able to see the family resemblance if you watched a crystal girl performance.
Loretta Lynn is one of the pioneers of country music. Country music Royalty RIP: Loretta Lynn U R Missed 💔❤🔥🤠 Here's another artist that does some seriously funny musical comedy similar to Ray Stevens, but he's also an amazing guitarist. "Jim Stafford performance - 1992 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon - The Mel Tillis' Theatre -Branson, MO"
I believe she wrote most of her songs she was a great songwriter and a great singer and a wonderful light that shined I think she's arguably maybe with Dolly Parton the best female country singer and songwriter she has a lot of great songs a lot of progressive songs for that time a lot of songs that spoke from a woman's point of view though I'm not a woman I appreciate them nonetheless you should check out more of her she even did a song with Jack White from the white stripes you couldn't go wrong with Loretta Lynn
If you get a chance to watch the biographical film, The Coal Miner’s Daughter, you really should, it is a well made film. I think you’d really enjoy it.

Crystal Gayle and Loretta were two of my late great Dads favorite singers,
Loretta was a national treasure here in the US, and one couldn't help but love her. She will be sorely missed.
The guy playing the Lead guitar is my Great Uncle. He played for her for many years.
Loretta was the undisputed queen of country music. She just died recently at the age of 90 and was still writing and releasing music. What a wonderful legacy
Married at 14, and became a country music legend in just a few years, Loretta was truly one of a kind
The marriage certificate shows that Lynn married just shy of her 16th birthday
@@BonnieVincent they could have lied about her age.

She was the queen of Country music. Fame never changed her personality either. Couldn't help but love her. Miss her.

She wrote all of her songs. And each one told a story things that happened to her.
True story! Loretta sang this about her own life. She was raised dirt poor. She was amazing.

Ms. Loretta was absolutely amazing. I work at her ranch, and the family is carrying on her legacy. Her granddaughter Tayla is great too
Love the old school country. The new, not so much. They had stories to tell. And they loved Yah.

She's an American legend.
Love Loretta songs she was a great country singer
Great stuff! Love her. She earned her keep is a understatement! Dolly Parton also grew up poor and earned it.
Hearing Loretta speak so lovingly of her dad reminds me of the saying here in the American south, "Southern women are hell to get along with because nobody treats them as well as daddy did".
I had one of those kinds of dads myself. 😊
She absolutely did right this song and many others..
I've had the privilege of seeing her sing this a few times.

Country legend 💖
Loretta wrote most all of her songs. She was married at 15
To change the pronunciation of a name ending with "a" to an "ie" sound is a very old dialect in Eastern Kentucky. Not many people in my family did it, but my grandma did. Her sisters were named Edna, Georgia and Geneva, and she pronounced those names Ednie, Georgie, and Genevie.
My daughter was working on her genealogy and when I told her that, she said, "Oh! That explains a lot of the trouble I've been having with spelling variations!"
I worked at George Jones music park in the 80's. I answered the phone in the office & it was her asking for Corn-way haha. Conway was doing a show that weekend there. That was the best & most fun job i ever had as it was for everyone in this rinky dink town lol.
Yes, her daddy was a coal miner. It was a difficult and dangerous job.
I am sure you would love Loretta's younger sister, Crystal Gayle who is stunning with a beautiful voice. Her biggest international hit was Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, 1977.
I love loretta
Real Country Music has a steel guitar in it. Loretta wrote this song about her real life.
miss my daddy a lot
You should check out You ain't Woman Enough and Fist City by Loretta
The Pedal Steel Guitar was very good.
As a jazz bug, I recognize country music royalty when I her it.
Her autobiography was also called Coal Miner's Daughter, and was made into movie starring Sissy Spacek as Loretta.
Butcher hollow Kentucky is about an hour or 2 south of where I am, she was amazing
She did write this song and lots more
I love her bluegrass song In The Pines
I recommend the Fusion Orchestra for reaction, the album "Skeleton In Armor" in 1973, I personally liked the songs "Sonata In Z" and "Have I Left the Gas On?"
Yup. My favorite country song of all time. You don' t have to be a Coal Miner's Daughter to relate to this one.
How about that last line? Chills ⛈
That song is completely autobiographical.
She wrote most of her songs. Listen to "Fist City", Don't Come home a Drinkin!" and "you ain't woman enough" Songs written by her and her own perspective, experiences and observation.
❤
I recommend the movie about her life, also called Coal Miner’s Daughter. It’s excellent, and I don’t know if you know the actress Sissy Spacek, but she portrayed Loretta in the movie.
National Treasure 🇺🇸
love her! I also recommend checking out the film "coal miner's daughter" starring sissy spacek as loretta lynn!!
This song is the story of her life and yes her dad did work in the coal mines, please check the film coal miners daughter
Hi! This is also a movie you should see- Also called “Coal Miners Daughter-The Loretta Lynn Story.” FANTASTIC movie! Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones played the couple soooo well. You really should check it out! 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤
True, autobiographal tune.
Steel guitar is what I believe you're referring to... CLASSIC. 😎
A true story
Loretta Lynn’s song “Fist City” is a humorous song.
I remember going on leave from the Air Force and 77 or 78 and we went to see the movie coal miner's daughter me my mom my sister maybe her kids and they were holding off some more family! Yes the movie was based on the life of Loretta Lynn she got married at the age of 14 2M guy who had served in the Korean War, and he was about 21 or 22 was pregnant before she was 15 and I think before or just after the baby was born, they left butcher holler and went to a whole other state because her husband did not want to be a coal miner. The country western singer Crystal Gayle is Loretta Lynn's baby sister. she was not even born yet when Loretta Lynn was married and having babies of her own. You should be able to see the family resemblance if you watched a crystal girl performance.
She did an album with Jack White before her passing, Portland Oregon is the best result of this collaboration, you may be surprised
Loretta Lynn is one of the pioneers of country music. Country music Royalty RIP: Loretta Lynn U R Missed 💔❤🔥🤠

She wrote it about her child hood. Yes it is a true story as are many of f her songs.
Ones on the way
The pill
I believe she wrote most of her songs she was a great songwriter and a great singer and a wonderful light that shined I think she's arguably maybe with Dolly Parton the best female country singer and songwriter she has a lot of great songs a lot of progressive songs for that time a lot of songs that spoke from a woman's point of view though I'm not a woman I appreciate them nonetheless you should check out more of her she even did a song with Jack White from the white stripes you couldn't go wrong with Loretta Lynn
Coats of many colors is also a true song by dolly pardon
I hope you watch the movie that was made with the same name: Coal Miners Daughter with Sissie Spaceck. It really portrays her life.
Ya gotta do Loretta Lynn this Haunted House!!! I literally was just at her house in Hurricane Mills Tennessee. Life changing.
I bet you'd like the movie of the same name. Sissy Spacek does a great job playing her. Tommy Lee Jones plays her husband.
You should watch the move - The Coal Miner’s Daughter
Her name is LORETTA.
Her little sister is Crystal Gayle. Please respond to her songs too. She is an amazing singer also.😊
You need to see the movie coal miner's daughter
You should react to the movie Coal Miners Daughter, Sissy Spacek plays Loretta abd won an Oscar for it.
That was a steel guitar. Haven't seenAaron Neville or Irma Thomas in your review,yet!! Love ya, Harri!!❤
She was a coal miner's daughter.
Ya gotta watch the film!
You need to listen to her song You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
She wrote it about her life
If you get a chance to watch the biographical film, The Coal Miner’s Daughter, you really should, it is a well made film. I think you’d really enjoy it.
