Loretta Lynn - Coal Miners Daughter

Loretta Lynn was born a humble coal miner’s daughter in rural Kentucky, but went on to win a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and was eventually a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom by noted centrist drone-strike enthusiast Barack Obama. “Coal Miner’s Daughter” was her sixteenth and most celebrated album, featuring the autobiographical title track as well as covers by country legends like Kris Kristofferson and Conway Twitty. A brilliant example of the countrypolitan Nashville Sound, with accompaniment by the legendary session musicians of the Nashville a-team, it cemented her career as one of the all-time greats of country western music. It’s also #440 on the Rolling Stone magazine list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, so Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail have listened to it, and now they’re going to do a deep dive on everything from the YouTube documentary “Loretta Lynn’s Haunted Plantation” to her late-career collaborations with Zorro On Donuts himself, Jack White. All that plus an unfruitful Secret Posho and an extra-special edition of Quizzzzz. Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
