This song is great, I love Loretta, but it sounds like auto-tune, like high-pitched. Copy and paste this into the search bar and compare "Honky Tonk Girl + Lyrics by Loretta Lynn"
Loretta Lynn is a national treasure! I adore, admire & respect this lady more than I could ever put into words. Loretta will always be the First Lady of real country music!
As a child of the 70's, with a passion for disco, I always disdained country music. That being said, I adore Loretta Lynn, she taught me to appreciate a well-placed twang. This song is plaintive and mournful in a sassy, fun way, and even with its country/western sound, it still transcends time and place. It's a timeless gem, as all good music should be. Go, Loretty!
Too bad nobody makes music like this anymore. Most of today's so called country music has no soul or feeling. Most of what we get today is warmed over crap. This is real country music.
That photo of Loretta doing her canning is priceless! And I loved the last portrait with her retainer on. She must have been proud to afford to be able to straighten her teeth!
@DCFunBud ...I can't really tell if that's a retainer or not...did you read that somewhere? I've never heard her mention a retainer, but I know she did have some work done on her teeth because they were hurtin' her real bad, and I can tell just by lookin' at her smile that it's different than it was when she was younger. Her smile (to me) was always her best feature. (Though she's always been beautiful in so many ways!:)
You'd better believe this is Loretta Lynn. Here first record on the Zero label from 1960, with "Whispering Seas" on the B-side. Been loving this recording ever since I was kid.
To everyone that have commented this isn't 'Loretty'...have you ever listened to her???/ This is the real deal...no one..and i mean NO ONE can sing like Loretta....so Ilovemygiant and MrSembrano23..do your homework before posting...
@MrSembrano23 This IS very much Miss Loretta Lynn. Sorry to tell ya. This was the first song she ever wrote and recorded. If you don't know what you're talking about, chances are you shouldn't say anything at all. But on a lighter note, I'm going to see Miss Loretta tonight in concert! :) God bless all ya'll!
@MrSembrano23 ...This IS Loretta Lynn. It was her first song. I'm a HUGE fan, and I KNOW for a FACT that it IS her. You should do your homework before you go spoutin' off about stuff you don't know.
yes I knew this was obviosly Loretta Lynn almost as soon as I heard it she's just really young here so her voice does sound younger but not different of Loretta Lynn at all. It sounds just like her to me and I'm 32 but then again she's what my Daddy raised me up on. Really enjoyed the privallage of being able to listen to what i would bet is probably one of her very first recordings if it is not in fact her first one wouldn't surprise me a bit. Lovin Loretta!!!
HELLO everyone just thought i would put a word in better watch or MR.RICKY CURRY'S wild hair up an across his fanny about miss loretta i made a statement of what i hear an he wrote to me an about cust me out i don't know him don't want too
Wally.. I have this strange feeling that Loretta won't be with us much longer (I've had this feeling about people before, like Liz Taylor and Patrick Swayze, and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY lol). I hope I'm wrong :( But then again she probably wants to go home and be with her Doolittle. Anyway, I hope I can see her in concert. I was supposed to go see Dolly and Porter, but didn't end up going to Nashville, and a week later he died. Not that I'm a big fan of him, but.. the legends are dying off :(
its a Early Loretta Song she was young once you know.
singers when they grow older there voice changes dolly's voice as well as loretta's has changed over the last couple of decades they still sound great.
@panthers0910001 If this is Loretta She sounds nothing like she normally does. Unless they did something wrong in the recording processes. It at times sounds like shes a chipmunk. I cant recall her ever sounding this badly.
@Ilovemygiant1 This IS Loretta--but it's an early recording--I think it was her first hit song--the sound quality was NOT great but it's a privilege just to hear it. Love Loretta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ktown011 Im sorry, did I at some point resort to calling people names and personal attacks. I was certain that I had not and also that I had replied to the person who said that it was a Loretta at a very young age and I agreed. Please make sure that you read EVERYTHING before you lower yourself to call people names. Stupid is wasting your time to make personal attacks on youttube over a song. Have you no life and nothing better to do? Heres my wish that you eventually do find a life.
@MI6A4PRO Since you obviously speak Before knowing the facts. Let me correct you. No, I did not think it was loretta but that was quite awhile ago as one kind gentleman pointed out very nicely to me, it is a very early recording and they recorded differently and so she does not sound as I am used to her sounding when shes somewhat older. I agreed with him and the others who also said so. I admitted I was wrong and I thought life as I knew it had resumed. U dont know me, so dont ever assume!!!
anyone been to loretta lynn's ranch? How do you get there from Ohio? I am in Columbus Ohio and plan a visit there this summer. I hear it's very nice and the house is haunted. she has museums, a motorcycle event, restaurant and replica of her childhood home.
@rbsvy91368 I have never been but I would LOVE to go. And yes, it is haunted. I remember seeing a video long ago of her talking about it. The only thing I can tell you is to Google it, how to get there (I live in Wisconsin so I don't know)
@itsmejohnathan...Wasn't she?! That's my very favorite photo of Loretta. I've always thought she was absolutely stunning. When other girls wanted to look like Barbie, I wanted to look like Loretta. (Heck, I still do!) Loretta is what beauty really is! :)
Loretta Lynn truly is America's original super talented Queen of Country Music, her legacy of great down to earth country music is legendary and timeless!
At :42 seconds, is my favorite photo of Loretta. I think she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. It's a shame her grandaddy told her she was ugly & she grew up believing it, coz that is one pretty woman, both inside and out!
@Jo22Twilight That is true for most of the singers actually, male or female. My belief is that the record execs, in their desire to make money (i.e. reach more ppl) pushed more pop sounding songs, or pop songs with a hint of country, which is what we have today mostly, though there are some who are more country sounding lately. Even then, what you get is a cookie cutter effect; one sounds just like the other, no distinctive sound.
U know im not saying theres anything wrong with artist today, but i dont like the people at the grand ole opry. I like it back in the day cause now its taylor swift talking about being fifteen and being scared about going to highschool and these people talk about real important things.. I wasnt even there and i like ten times better than this crap they have today.
I've always loved Loretta and her songs bring back the true country sound that we've all grown to love so much! Thanks Walley for sharing it with me..:)
WOW, I tried to upload this one once, and it wouldn't let me, I'm glad that someone got it posted though, it's one of her best, and a classic because it was her first single :-)
I love it! Its always been on of my fav by her... thanks for sharing! I grew up on Loretta, and I love her! She really paved the way for women in the business too!! And this truly sounds like the very original cut!
She is also a classy lady

@Jo22Twilight That is true for most of the singers actually, male or female. My belief is that the record execs, in their desire to make money (i.e. reach more ppl) pushed more pop sounding songs, or pop songs with a hint of country, which is what we have today mostly, though there are some who are more country sounding lately. Even then, what you get is a cookie cutter effect; one sounds just like the other, no distinctive sound.
