Loretta Lynn is my soulmate even if she doesn't know this (we even share a birthday). I have loved her music for most of my life and there are times when I listen to Lorretta and simply fall in love with country music all over again. There are few songwriters whose lyrics are as honest and from the heart as Lorretta's and her voice is simply incredible. This is why I am happy to tell you she has a new album coming out on March 19th. This album (entitled Still Woman Enough) is mostly made up of covers of classic country songs. It will also include the new title song, which she co-wrote with her daughter, Patsy Lynn Russell, and a recitation of her signature song, Coal Miner's Daughter. Special guests on this album will include Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker, Carrie Underwood and Margo Price.
You can hear her recitation of Coal Miner's Daughter below.
