Any of you already listened to this album? I didn't know anything about her music until I heard of the collaboration between her and Jack White on this album. For those of you who don't know her: Loretta Lynn is one of the classic country singers. During the '60s and '70s, she ruled the charts, racking up over 70 hits as a solo artist and a duet partner. At the age of 70 she's still able to make some incredible music. The songs vary from melancholic (Trouble on the line, Miss being mrs.) to rock (Have mercy) Even people who hate country music definitely should give this one a try. You won't get disappointed!
I'm bored with the valleys and bored by the peaks. So I bought a ticket to the Pixies
I think I started a thread on this after it came out. I really like the disc. Jack White did a great job, especially insisting that they return to her songwriting instead of the nashville 'hit machine' types who haven't got a clue.
Let's go burn ole Nashville down Set it all aflame BBQ the greedheads Made country weak and tame Burn burn Nash Vegas Char it's rancid soul Burn burn Branson too Make a big black hole
Country music is killing itself Tryin' to be what it ain't Garth Brooks sells as many as Manilow Lee Greenwood is a saint Burn burn Jimmy Bowen Damn your puny soul Burn burn Jimmy Bowen Country can't be sold
Any fool can wear a hat And not move when they play But the lonesome howl of the white trash wolf Can't be heard today Burn burn the fake cowboys The Vegas showbiz shit Burn burn Branson too Sold your soul for a hit
Let's go burn ole Nashville down Burn it to the ground Let's go burn ole Nashville down Save the country sound Burn burn soulless swine Crossover igit-pukes Burn burn lyin' cheaters Country don't have flutes
