Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn first arrived in Nashville 55 years ago, signing her first recording contract on February 1, 1960. A self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Lynn became one of the most distinctive performers in Nashville in the 1960s and 1970s.

Loretta Lynn’s instantly recognizable delivery makes for one of the greatest voices in music history. With hits such as “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl,” “Don’t Come Home A- Drinkin’”, “Somebody Somewhere,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” “Out of My Head and Back in My Bed,” “Success,” “I Lie,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and “You’re Lookin’ at Country,” no songwriter has a more distinctive body of work.

Loretta Lynn’s life is still a work in progress. She’s still out there on the road, still writing songs and still recording them as only she can. “I ain’t a star – a star is something up in the night sky,” says Loretta Lynn. “People say to me, ‘You’re a legend.’ I’m not a legend. I’m just a woman.”
