Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn emerged from Butcher Hollow, Kentucky to become one of country music's most candid voices, starting her career in the early 1960s. She tackled controversial subjects in songs like "The Pill" and "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," both major country hits. Her autobiography "Coal Miner's Daughter" became both a bestselling book and the title of her signature song, later adapted into an acclaimed film.
