Heaven truly needed a Honky Tonk Angel.

From Butcher Holler to international stardom. What a grand life lived. RIP, Loretta.

A giant to her rest.

Damnit, damnit, damnit.

She talked like my people talked but she was rich and famous enough they had to kiss her ass anyway. A hillbilly’s dream.

I got bogged down towards the end of season 1, but the episode of Cocaine and Rhinestones about “The Pill” was pure gold.

Thank you ma’am.

Part of the soundtrack of my youth. RIP

I hope she's singin' with Conway tonight.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

One of the greatest country song titles

 

[Tighthead]

Hard to top this.

She and Cash were old enough to rest on their laurels - but they remained artists long past when most artists would simply start mailing it in. Cash with "Hurt" - Lynn with her collaboration with Jack White.

Another country legend gone. One of the voices who got this Acela Corridor suburban youth interested in and then hooked on the genre.

What a treat this is
The sisters with the Boston Pops in 2009

Loretta Lynn had more songs banned from the radio than all 20th century male country artists added together.

Loretta Lynn was Daisy Duke

Loretta Lynn circa 1973.

I saw her on a farm southeast of Nashville in 2012 and she still had good voice.
