WE WERE THERE: LORETTA LYNN AT THE WINSPEAR OPERA HOUSE
By Mario Tarradell – Dallas News Loretta Lynn spent much of her hour onstage sitting down. Dressed in a shimmering lavender gown – high-neck line, shoulder pads, fitted sleeves – the country music legend looked like a queen perched on her throne. The crowd Sunday night at the Winspear Opera House definitely treated her like royalty. One woman approached the stage and did a we’re-not-worthy bow.
Lynn took it all in stride. Even in sequins and chiffon, the pride of Butcher Holler, Kentucky will always be the coal miner’s daughter next door. Indeed the 90-minute concert, the first stop on Lynn’s 2012 tour, felt like a family affair. more!

COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER RETURNS TO BUFFALO RUN
For more than 50 years running America’s most famous coal miner’s daughter has been nearly worshiped by her fans.
Loretta Lynn, who became one of the first female country artists to reach sales exceeding 500,000 with her 1967 song, “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind), will be performing live at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Indoor Peoria Showplace inside Buffalo Run Casino.
Lynn isn’t just a pretty voice. In many ways she’s both a country musical trendsetter and maverick. Her first self-penned song to crack the Top 10, 1966’s “Dear Uncle Sam,” was among the very first recordings to recount the human costs of the Vietnam War.

LORETTA LYNN IS A LIFER
Kelly Dearmore – DallasObserver
Loretta Lynn keeps it rather simple when summing her progression from childhood cabin in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky to the illustrious Winspear Opera House, where she performs Sunday night. “It really has been an interesting journey. It’s a hard story to believe, but it really is interesting.”
Recently removed from not only knee surgery but a case of pneumonia, the elegant Lynn is as comfortable as one can be when discussing the past, present or future of both herself and country music. There was a 2010 collection, Coal Miner’s Daughter: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn, featuring versions of her hits from Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow, but when asked which artists from the current generation are likely to have the staying power, Lynn again keeps it direct.
“Well, it depends on how hard they work. I never let up,” she says from a cell phone while driving to Nashville. “Back when I had my twins, I was still in the middle of trying to get things going with my career, so, I just took them with me and kept working. It wasn’t easy for me.” Read the rest of this entry »
