Loretta Lynn is one country artist that everybody knows. You might have followed her storied career since her 1960 debut hit “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl.” Maybe you learned all about her life growing up in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, through the autobiography Coal Miner’s Daughter or the classic biopic film adapted from it. You might have taken notice of her musical collaborations with everyone from the late Conway Twitty to the White Stripes frontman Jack White.
No matter how you know her, you know her. And chances are you love her. After selling more than 45 million albums and maintaining her status as the most awarded female country artist, Lynn still seems as affable and approachable as she was when she was just getting her start in the music business.
“ANYTHING I GO AT, I GO AT HARD, BECAUSE I ONLY DO WHAT I WANT”.
The legend reaches her milestone 90th birthday on April 14, more than 80 years after she heard a tune on a radio for the first time
