Homes of Country Music Stars More From CNBC Slideshows Homes of Country Music Stars Country music makers often come off as more down to earth than other famous musicians. In the past it was almost a requirement that country musicians grew up in humble homes, and some of them even kept their digs low key once they got famous. 
On July 6, 2013, the Loretta Lynn Ranch will play host to “Remembering Conway,” a tribute concert to Conway Twitty. Loretta Lynn will be performing with special guests, including David Frizzell, Jeff Bates, and Brooks Atwood. Tickets are available HERE or at (931) 296-7700. See you at the show!
“It’s a sad day for country music and a great loss for those of us who knew him. I was blessed to call George my friend. He was one of the best country singers there ever was. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Nancy, and all of his family. It’s a sad, sad day.” -Loretta Lynn
(Loretta presents George Jones with the annual Living Legend Award in 1987 at the Music City News Awards. She had received the honor the previous year.)
Anyone who knows Jack White knows his love for classic country music. Besides his recent collaboration with Wanda Jackson, Jack White produced the critically lauded Loretta Lynn comeback album Van Lear Roseback in 2004.
So it’s only fitting that, in celebration of Record Store Day, newly minted Record Store Ambassador White took it upon himself to construct a recording booth in his Nashville-based Third Man Records studio and record a cover of one of Lynn’s most famous song, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Per White’s predilection for all things old-fashioned, the track is sufficiently crackly, simulating the sound of well-worn vinyl.
White also extended an offer to any nearby musicians to stop by and record their song to vinyl.
If the official Third Man Records Instagram is to be believed, none other than Neil Young stopped by to take up White’s offer.
Join Loretta Lynn, Joe Nichols, Joey + Rory, and more for the 2013 Memorial Day Concert on May 24 & 25 at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch to honor and celebrate the men and women who have served our great Country. For ticket information, call 931-296-7700.
