I watched the movie about Loretta Lynn's life, "Coal Miner's Daughter", this week for the first time. I had resisted it, poo poo'ed it in fact due to my dislike and ignorance of country music. Now I'm not saying I am a convert, but I am starting to appreciate some of the true country artists. I think it started with The Knitters, I was helped along this road by my dear friend and pen-pal, PJ(who is an amazing guitarist), and was coaxed a little bit more by Jeff Bridges performance in "Crazy Heart".
Here is Loretta singing the movie title song, "Coal Miner's Daughter", then to switch it up I've included her duet "Portland Oregon" with Jack White of the White Stripes. Lorettie's lyrics were her life, she tells it like it is!
