Loretta Lynn

Loretta played a gig over the weekend in New Jersey. According to the NY Times (Aug 4, 2008) wasn't having the best of eveings.

"A back operation had been causing her pain, she said, so would those in the audience mind if she performed the remainder of the show sitting down?"

"Her voice was unsteady, like a radio station coming in and out of reception. The songs required little stamina, but it often felt like Ms. Lynn barely had even that."

"There was blistering humor... (even though Ms. Lynn forgot some lyrics) and vicious spark...the disjointed set’s conclusion Ms. Lynn’s signature song, the autobiographical “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” arrived like a punch."

BUT DOESN'T SHE LOOK FABULOUS IN THAT PURPLE GOWN!
