Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

My first act as Supreme World Leader will be to outlaw all country music and erase its memory from the Earth. 1.5/5.0

great voice but mostly boring songs

I like it but I wouldn't ever listen to it. I can see how she inspired others like Emmy Lou Harris and Dolly Parton.

Liked it

Country used to not be about drinking beers and your Ford-150s. Still bad though.

Sadly country just isn't for me, not to mention the lyrics...

Dønn ærlig old school country. Likanes men ikke spesielt engasjerende.

Funny how it works out with this list I got this album straight after a coat of many colors by dolly parton these 2 albums have a very similar vibe, I did prefer this album but rate it about the same I find Lorettas voice way more likable its smoother and not as sharp as dollys and the music was really good some of it reminiscent of johnny cash overall nice album that is not my usually style but likled it

Dog walked in while this was playing, briefly sat down, looked at the speaker nervously a few times, then left. I can't totally blame him; I also struggle to get on board with old twangy country music. Good for Loretta for calling out the shitty men in her life. The jangly piano is kinda fun when it pops up. I appreciate the short runtime (which is not exactly a compliment). Other than that, this was a struggle to get through. 2.2

Sweet but not so my thing

You could imagine any of these songs on the Goodfellas soundtrack. Mostly just fine with I Really Don't Wanna Know being particularly good.

I have never listened to a Loretta Lynn album. And now I’m wondering why. Have I become a country music fan? This album was excellent. Her voice… Wow.

3 stars by default for being an icon, but classic country just isn’t my thing

There is something almost deceptive about the sheer competence of this record. Owen Bradley is producing, the Jordanaires are hovering decorously behind Loretta, and Nashville’s session musicians sound as though playing country music this immaculately is no more taxing than making a cup of tea. You could put Don’t Come Home a-Drinkin’ on, pay no attention whatsoever to the words, and hear an exceptionally well-made 1967 Nashville album. But that immaculate surface is also the delivery system for material about drunkenness, infidelity, sexual double standards, loneliness, separation and the unequal terms on which marriage could operate. That is where Loretta Lynn becomes fascinating. She isn’t attacking marriage from outside it. If anything, this album takes marriage ferociously seriously. Love matters, fidelity matters, companionship matters, the home matters, and precisely because all those things matter, the husband does not get to behave as though only his wife is bound by them. The title track lays out the proposition immediately: you cannot stagger home drunk after a night out and expect affection merely because you have arrived. It is an extraordinarily blunt domestic ultimatum delivered over music sprightly enough to play at a church picnic. Country music has always been rather better at plain speaking than its reputation suggests, but there is a productive tension here between form and function. Nashville country of this period had formidable professional gatekeepers: the song had to work, the singer had to deliver it, the musicians had to know exactly where to put every note, and the resulting record had to pass as respectable entertainment. Loretta fulfils every requirement and then uses the access she has gained to say some distinctly inconvenient things. Her voice is part of the trick. She rarely sounds like she is delivering a manifesto. She sounds clear, reasonable, tuneful and sometimes positively cheerful while explaining why the arrangements between men and women are bullshit. The really striking thing, though, is the programming. This is not a concept album, but the songs repeatedly behave as though they have heard the song before them and now have to deal with its consequences. “The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight”, originally a contemporary Marty Robbins song, becomes far more charged when Loretta sings it. A husband staying out drinking was socially legible; a wife claiming precisely the same freedom carried very different consequences. Loretta goes out anyway and leaves him to do the waiting, worrying and presumably some of the domestic work that made his own freedom possible. “Saint to a Sinner” follows and pushes at the same double standard: male misconduct can be treated as behaviour, while female misconduct is liable to become character. The album is equally good when it refuses to make Loretta merely the prosecuting counsel for inadequate husbands. “I Really Don’t Want to Know” understands that people arrive in relationships with histories and that knowing every detail about the people they loved before you is not necessarily a route to happiness. “There Goes My Everything” refuses another convenient fiction: the idea that once somebody leaves, you must immediately rewrite the relationship so that they were always terrible and you secretly knew it. Sometimes somebody mattered enormously and still left. You are allowed unfinished business. Then comes one of the album’s best little sequences. “I Can’t Keep Away From You” briefly abandons grievance altogether and simply admits that being in love can override every sensible objection. People can be absolute idiots and still reach a point where you would rather be with them than anybody else. Immediately afterwards, “I’m Living in Two Worlds” wakes up and surveys the damage. With him, she pretends to be happy and knows she does not fit; without him, she is cold and lonely. Wanting somebody and being able to construct a workable life with them turn out to be entirely different propositions. That emotional untidiness is perhaps the album’s greatest strength. “Get What ’Cha Got and Go”, co-written by Loretta, lasts less than two minutes and is essentially an eviction notice. He says she is holding him back; her magnificent response is that she will help him pack. Fine. Off you go. Then “Making Plans” immediately admits that watching him actually leave is going to break her heart. This is how relationships often end: not with one immaculate decision followed by enlightenment, but with anger, acceptance, refusal, tenderness and grief taking turns at the wheel. Loretta’s own songs also have a little extra attack. She is a superb interpreter of outside material, and the song selection throughout is doing enormous work, but when the words are hers she seems to know exactly where to place the knife. The closing “I Got Caught” is particularly good. She does not claim innocence; she admits cheating. Her argument is that the man condemning her is an experienced cheat himself. He got away with it. She got caught. The album’s whole argument about unequal standards is compressed into that distinction. Unexpectedly, I kept thinking about Lucinda Williams’ Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. They sound nothing alike, but they share an understanding that adult relationships are contradictory, compromised and resistant to tidy moral conclusions. Williams had another 31 years of women in country, folk and rock enlarging the space in which a female artist could speak, write and construct an entire world. Loretta Lynn is one of the people helping to create that space in the first place. The coal miner’s daughter is not rejecting traditional marriage; she is examining it from inside, finding herself simultaneously wanting it and constrained by it, and demanding better conditions. I cannot quite give this five stars. The immaculate Jordanaires-and-Nashville-session-player sound is simply not a musical language I love enough for that. But that is a matter of personal taste rather than failure on the record’s part. The lyrics and song selection are doing five-star work, delivered through five-star musicianship in a genre that normally starts somewhere around three stars for me. Everything about the production is designed to make the message pass smoothly through the gates. And then Loretta gets inside and starts rearranging the furniture.

Familiar with this one. She has some great songs, but there's a fair bit of bland peppered in this as well. Starts off with such a bang!

My second country album in consecutive days. I remember as a kid watching Coal Miners Daughter and becoming familiar with Loretta Lynn in that way. I grew up on this kind of country. It’s still kind of my favorite but boy is it sad to think about how people lived back then. They lied and cheated and they fell back in love. Now you either love or hate her voice. I think there’s vibrato wears ona bit too much but hey it was only 30 minutes. Is this an album that I needed to hear before I died. No. It was her 9th. There doesn’t seem to be any real significance or brilliance on the album except a few covers. The cover the Ernest Tubb song Tomorrow Never Comes. Tubb was the first to record with her. So it makes sense she would cover one of his songs. But again I didn’t need to hear this album

The Good: We get to stay at the bar and get sloshed! The Bad: Showing up at home, drunk as a skunk, the door remains locked… The Ugly: Well… if you can’t get lovin’ at home… Is this album on the list because we really need to hear the entire album, or could this have been a mistake and Mr D mistakenly swapped his 1001 songs to get drunk to list? My finger started twitching by the time song two was half-way through, and it didn’t stop twitching till the album was over… which, seeing as the album lasts about as long as an elephant’s fart, it isn’t that bad. Still, this album tested my willingness to listen to each and every song. Tragic story, Loretta’s life. Glad she was able to make a good living. Me, happy that this ordeal is over with… 2*

bem música do bo3 zombies tem uma vibe legal!! mas acho que quem curte country deve aproveitar mais o álbum, particularmente, não tive vontade de salvar nenhuma música especifica escutei enquanto cozinhava e me senti uma loira conservadora peituda do sul dos estados unidos usando avental rosa pra assar biscoito

Loretta Lynch is obviously a talented singer, but this album is from such a different era that it isn’t as enjoyable to listen to in 2026. However, context matters. Listening to this at home, it was a fine way to spend 30 minutes. But if a song from this album is included in the right film or show (ie Fallout, Righteous Gemstones, even a MCU movie), it would feel iconic.

Still better than any country album released in the last 30 years.

I felt like I needed to square dance against my will. Also this woman desperately needs better taste in men.

Pues al menos tiene un toque Lynchiano por ahí…

Too country for my blood. Nice vocals and guitar though. Just not my thing. Sorry Loretta.

Very trad, one-paced country and even at under half an hour, I found it quite tiresome! Fine if you like this sort of thing but it's not for me!

Yah I definitely struggle with country music. As a whole there’s not a lot of variety, and in the case like this album, there is usually a lot that’s alittle too slow for me. But then there’s absolute perfection like the songs “don’t come home a drinkin”, “the devil gets his due”, and “get what cha got and go”. Those three songs I really loved and honestly reassures me that my claim “that most country music is just pop rock music with a pandering musical style” which is very true for those three songs. That beings said I did appreciate her voice, which is great. I just wanted alittle more humor and upbeat songs. This is a great country album, but it’s not “my kind” of country album, which I guess would just be southern rock. Seriously though, even if you don’t like country music, listen to that opening title track, I think it’s charm and humor could win over anybody even me. Also on a side note, I want to acknowledge how amazing her vocal performance is on “I really don’t want to know”.

Can definitely admit to Loretta Lynn being a talented singer, and the album started great, but all the songs started to blend since they were all just about infidelity and jealousy. It's country music in the way people think of ol'-timey country music. Not something I'll listen more to but glad I least tried it. (3/5)

How dare she be good

Great country voice but just a mainstream old fashioned honky tonk country album with little appeal to me. 3 at best.

Mercifully short but still took a few sittings to get through

If I were a beaten down southern belle unable to escape a toxic relationship, then I might identify with this album. Alternatively, if the mythical cafe Kelvinos was throwing a themed fancy dress country and western night, then this would make a strong bid to make the playlist. The former is not the case, and the latter, imaginary even as it is, is as likely to happen as Donald Trump coming out as a transgender Muslim. She has a nice voice. That aside, no thank you.

Man this lady has an unhappy marriage. I liked this more than I thought. Quite humourous and sad.

Amazing country album! What a great voice and giving a women’s point of view in country song is a unique experience

Favorite Track: There Goes My Everything

did di di di li lil lili its goddam country yeha yall its still shit

I call this trad country. Loretta has a great voice and the songs are well written for what they are I suppose, but I just don't connect with this style of country, and judging by the subject matter, Loretta must have dated some real gems.

absolutely depressing subject matter distracted me from how boring the instrumentals are. singer has a beautiful voice too, so bonus point

Foundational country album. Glad to see that albums like this made it on the list.

Boy, can she sing. Great writer too.

Lekkere niets aan de hand Country

Glad albums like this exist, and exist on this list. Some Patsy Cline vibes, and I'm here for it. Great voice. T'would be another 3.5 if we did halves, or 3.75 if we did quarters. Not sure about fifths or sixths. Sevensths? Anyway nice album, glad to have her on my radar.

This came out in 1967, you say? Or 1947?

My aunties fave karaoke choice ! Good vibes all round

Not bad in it's time. Would never visit it again.

Not for me

Classic female country. I feel bad for the commenters who think this is just a sad pathetic woman. Loretta couldn't be further from that!

60s country. Quite the title. Beautiful voice, sad lyrics.

Not my thing.

What a voice!

preach it sister 4/5

Great start to a day. Such a voice and songwriter.

She ain’t no Dolly that’s for sure

A solid album!

What a voice!

I listened to this while making my partner dinner and it made me all sassy, and i'm a man.

I don't like country music, but this one is pretty nice.

Just some solid twangy old timey country that didn’t suck.

Lynn's voice carries this entire album. It is just beautiful, Trump supporting be damned. The instrumentation is an absolutely stellar accompaniment, too. Also it's nice to listen to an old country album that isn't just a bunch of misogyny. This would be a bit better if it wasn't so repetitive, though. Favorite Track: I Really Don't Want To Know

Not my thing. It gives me bad vibes with how the lyrics reflect the time period and how women were treated.

Boring and depressing song

This is the album that's playing on a loop in hell's waiting room.

a bit one-note record

Es lindo. Ella tenía una gran voz. Y realmente agradezco estar en este challenge que me trae álbumes que nunca hubiera escuchado. Tengo que ponerle 2/5 porque no lo volvería a escuchar. A menos que repita el challenge cuando lo termine.

She has a solid singing voice. Her twang and the music itself made this album less enjoyable for me than it could have been.

2/10 Fun but I don't care for country

love me some classic country, but her voice was a bit much after a while

I can’t tolerate the twang longer than 28 minutes

Simply beautiful 10/10

country must be a very American thing and i’m not American

Not my sort of thing, really, but it bopped along well enough.

Loretta can weave a story, just not relatable to me. Sorry.

This is everything I dislike about Country as a genre. It’s almost impressive how much this is the perfect distillation of all I loathe! 1

Too country for my liking. This woman has 99 problems and her man is all of them

Lovely voice. Boring band. Unwholesome lyrics wrapped in conservative music. What Johnny Cash did for Hurt, maybe NIN could do for Loretta Lynn's backing band.

Music that makes you want to do a deep stretch.

Sometimes you hear a song from the 60/70s and you’re blown away at how modern it sounds. Not the case here! Very much stuck in a point in time. Not my cuppa team but she can clearly sing

So far this list is making me like country As one 1001 user says, “I never thought that I’d be sitting here enjoying music, yet here we are”

3.5.

Angel or devil? Loretta does both

Not a fan of country music I generally turn it off as soon as I can. Despite that this is better than the last 1001 that came up in my queue, which got a 2, so here’s a 3 for you Lorreta

She really does have a nice voice, but nothing about the music behind it does anything for me. Luckily it is a short album but I could feel it drag for me towards the end.

I surprisingly enjoyed this a lot. She has a great voice and I like the story telling - although lyrically very dated.

Are there any healthy relationships in country music? A whole lot of drinkin' and a cheatin' and a shootin'. The album started strong for a cheesy, novelty number, but then every song starts to sound the same. All quite cheery guitars for songs about disfunctional marriage. Glad it's only 28 minutes long. Fair play to Loretta for her career, but not bothering to listen to any more.

3 stars for all the songs where she gets cheated on, 5 stars for all the songs where she cheats on him.

Classic country, by a classic country artist. Yes, please, sign me up. 5 stars

ok

Technically competent - especially the singing - but tremendously boring despite having a fairly varied set of arrangements as country music goes. The tiresome, hand-wringing subject matter doesn't help.

Call me a sentimental old fool but I quite like this sort of stuff 😅

It sort of sounds good if you don't listen to any of the words or values...

Don’t you just want to insist that Loretta make some friends, go to brunch, find a hobby, grow some confidence, and gain some independence? Like, girl. You don’t need that man or any man. The love is inside of you and always has been. Bless. But anyway, she’s a country music star for a reason. This album is good listening.

Nice voice, shame it’s backed by country music and a healthy dose of tropes.

A good album, I liked Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin', Tomorrow Never Comes and The Devil Get His Due the most.

Enjoyed that more than I was expecting

Le country c’est pas mon fort

Vrm pas mon style mais je feel l’importance qu’a eu cette album, surtout avec le puissant message qu’il projette

Je feel comme la house wife qui yearn pour son marie

This type of "country values" seen from a distance, time and in my case geographical too maybe seem a little quaint in an ironic way. But guess not so funny if this was your reality, or if you are believing in this life view and want to return to the old days and ways, misogynistic arseholds que up, influencers or otherwise. She was at least giving woman a voice in what was from the lyrics a one way street, and her political views mmm. I will take the ironic fun route, and it's an enjoyable 30 minutes, it's all the old stlying country troupes and it works well, the songs are strong, she has a great voice and the playing is spot on. 4 Star

wie zum Teufel können so viele Leute diesem Album 5/5 Sterne geben 😭😭😭

Classic western music

Good old fashioned country but didn't really grab me as something special.

Great traditional country. Not all my taste but still really sweet and classic.

Loretta Lynn's opening song and title 'Don't Come Home A Drinking with Loving On Your Mind' is early feminist punk rock delivered in a country twang whose easy delivery masks the stark message. Bad ass. Added to that, all songs around 2 minute mark and album clocks in under half an hour. Country punk starts here, 3 stars.

A novelty at best. But a fun one.

Overall: 5/10 She has a lovely voice, and I do like the songs for the most part, but there's only so many songs about a bad relationship that I can put up with. Fav Song: The Devil Gets His Due

No me gusto, muy cursi y se me hizo muy pesado escucharlo

Classic country at its Finest

Icon

She's the tough one.

Yeah I'm sorry but country is not my thing. The only upside to this album is its length. At only 28 minutes I was still waiting for it to be over. Not the worst country ever, but not very note worthy Mid 2.

Not only is it boring, but also sounds completely awful

I mean ya, solid but country Will I listen to again: 5%

Lo siento, no es mi tipo de música, no recuerdo los “buenos viejos tiempos” ni me apetece pegarle a mi mujer cuando se le ocurra pensar algo distinto a mi. Pero no suena mal!!

Great voice. Average tunes

Logged in, saw this was today’s album. And sighed. A 60s country album FFS? And yet… it reminded me so much of music my Nan used to listen to. I never heard of the singer before but her voice is strong and really soared to the high notes. Songs are short, and predictable in the chord changes. But overall it’s actually quite sweet. Music from a simpler time.

If I was in the market for some good ole Country this would be high up on my list. But I'm really not. Do check out Loretta's Fist City though!

It's like an Adele Album from a parallel country universe.

That is quite the title for an album. If your man is that problematic I'd suggest divorce over penning a song.

that voice, love her

nice but it is so short

Obsessed #love

Good vibe

Not my go to but I really liked this. It was really good road trip music

Thanks, but no thanks

Even with the small amount I listened to, I know for a fact that this isn't required listening.

53/100. Country music really is not my thing, but I can totally see why Loretta Lynn became such a massive deal in the genre. She had this real gift for taking ordinary, everyday experiences and turning them into songs that felt incredibly honest and relatable. The title track, and honestly most of the album, is built around wanting basic respect in a relationship. That might sound like common sense today, but looking back at mainstream country music in the 1960s, a woman openly demanding respect, fidelity and consideration from her partner was a seriously bold move.

komische country. Grappige teksten, maar doet me niet heel veel

a first listen. this is a good time. nostalgic country music for sure. not every song here is a banger but its all good anyway. favorite tracks: Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind), Tomorrow Never Comes, There Goes My Everything, The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight, The Devil Gets His Dues, Get What'cha Got and Go, I Got Caught

Legendary voice. Boring album

Great songs

5/10 - very similar to Dolly Parton I guess, it's ok

3/10

Not as bad as some of the country shite on this list, but still a bit boring.

I was previously familiar with Loretta Lynn but not really much of her music. I may have heard the title track before, but most of this was new to me. While I can respect this, it honestly is not the sort of music I would choose to listen to. She has a nice voice, and these songs were fine but I would not listen again.

Not a big fan.

This was fine. Just not my thing. Big ups feminism though

You tell em queen don't put up with his BS you don't need no scrub

This wasn't for me

sad yeehaw

Country's Taylor Swift. A beautiful voice on a very sad album. Enjoyed it. Sounds like Conway Twitty is a dick.

Listen I know a lot of people won’t like this. But Loretta Lynn is my GIRL. Not the best album I’ve ever heard, but I’m a little biased. Would give 3.5 if I could do half stars

3.5/10 -I respect Loretta for stepping into a male dominated space but the traditions and trends of Country music aren’t enjoyable to me. I wouldn’t come back to this.

I typically don't love old school country and this does nothing to change my mind. The only positive I can take from this is that it's only 28 minutes long. 2/10

Loretta was a constant in my home growing up, for the short time my parents had a stereo set up. What a joy to listen to her now!

Absolutely hilarious whiplash from going from NWA yesterday to this today.

I actually think that this is one of the better country albums I have listened to. I usually am not a fan of this genre, but very few albums I can sit and listen to without wanting to instantly turn it off. It was quite a short album, and I think it worked that way. The songs had nothing really that needed adding to them, which would make them lengthier, and if they were made longer, I feel it would just be very repetitive. What I find about country music is that a lot of it sounds very similar and almost cliché at times. This also does in a way, but I did enjoy the vocals, and they felt fresh enough to keep it going. Favourites: Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) I Really Don't Want To Know I Got Caught

This one is pretty much the opposite of 1001 albums that I want to hear before the end of my life. ★

This is the tolerable kind of country. Sparse but good instrumentation, genuine vocals and not overproduced and glossy. However, the songwriting leaves one wanting. Only the title track and There Goes My Everything stand out.4,6/10, rounded up to three stars to make a statement

3.5

I'm sorry, but we could have used a different batch of songs here . The songs are not there .

Nice album

Liked this way more than I thought I would! I've never listened to much Honky Tonk but it's pretty nice. Interesting knowing all of the influences, especially the pseudo-Hawaiian, pacific island orientalist tropical type of sound. Plays really well of off Lynn's sometimes playful, sometimes sexy, all the time powerful voice. Interesting!

Exactly what I hate about country music. It really started to get on my nerves, which is an achievement when the albums only half an hour long. Just bad music.

Nice album, but why was she so sad? 😢😢🤗BIG LOVE 💕

Very talented singer! The seemingly effortless vibrato on most of the songs is super impressive. Aside from that the songs are also pretty nice, and at times it all reminds me a bit of Dolly Parton Standouts Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight 3/5

it's ok music, in a fun, easy-listening, old-timey kind of way. not really the kind of thing i would want to listen to regularly though

I liked this one. Fun lyrics, great pedal guitar vibes, funny lyrics and great delivery. Can only take it in measured doses though. Background - Hal Rugg's pedal steel work provides the essential melodic counter-punch to Loretta’s fiery, blunt vocals. Rather than just sitting in the background, the steel guitar acts like a second voice, mimicking a weeping, drunken sigh that perfectly matches the album's themes of marital discord and heartache. Rugg's incredible, instantly recognizable intro lick on the title track sets a flawless gold standard for traditional country music. His playing also deeply shines on the up-tempo track "The Devil Gets His Due" and the poignant ballad "I Can't Keep Away From You".The Produced by Owen Bradley at Bradley's Barn, the mix strips away the overly polished, pop-leaning "Nashville Sound" strings of the era to let the raw, piercing slide of the steel guitar drive the rhythm alongside traditional fiddles.

Classic Country. Not everyday listening for me, but it makes me want to go back to the Opry. Not sure why this album of hers is on the list.

Loretta Lynn you absolute legend, churning out stompers like its nothing. This album came out 7 whole years before women in the US could take out a loan, a mortgage, or a credit card without the signature of a man. She sang of the lived experience of women in that time, and she was a rebel for it.

****a good , easy listening album

Sounds like LL needs to find her a new man. Not a fan of this era / genre of country music.

Pretty solid country, but meta-textually frustrating. I'm sure there's at least a little nuance to her beliefs, but singing songs like Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) then saying that you're "not a big fan of women's liberation" sits weirdly with me. More recently, Loretta Lynn also also staged a "joke wedding" with close personal friend Kid Rock, a man I do not respect, which sits weirdly with me for similar reasons. And it sucks because she had some really powerful songs in the 60's that it really seems like she grew out of touch with. I'll say I don't think she was a horrible person or anything, she was just consistently frustrating as of late. But regardless of this, I'm sure I listen to musicians with greater sins, and this is a pretty strong collection of songs. Though, looking back at it, it doesn't feel like there's anything separating this from the pack as far as country albums of the time go. But I am willing to chalk that up to the flaws of hindsight. She is plenty charismatic and has some really talent for performance as well. I don't have a ton to say, but this was broadly enjoyable.

I don’t like country music

The no 1 country album of a female singer. But still country from '67.

323/1089 sorry Ms. Lynn but i didn’t really like this, just really not a fan of this type of yeehaw country 14/100

Nick Drake took one listen to this and said, “all right, woman, you got me beat.”

What a voice. Pretty stripped down country. Other reviews describe this as tear-in-your-beer country. Seems right.

honky and tonky

A stone cold scolding from the coalminer’s daughter. I’m still not fully into country music but the kitchen sink drama and Lynn’s feisty attitude has partially won me over

Enjoyable enough listen but def not something I want to hear on the regular.

Not a fan, however, the musicians on this album were phenomenal.

I liked her voice but I felt very bored

Not familiar with Loretta Lynn, but the poor girl seems to be a magnet for toxic relationships. Loretta's band sounds great -- I suppose when you're on your ninth album you can get some pretty decent musicians to record with you. Strangely it's Loretta's singing that is the weakest link. Her voice is pretty enough, but she sings with a forced sound that produces a that wobbly out of control vibrato. You can hear some hoarseness in some tracks that she is singing through which I'm sure is exasperated by her poor technique. A few sessions with a good voice coach would clear this all up. Didn't love this album -- country music is a tough sell for me.

I found this to be pretty boring, honestly. Fine enough lyrics and the band is alright but this sort of thing is hardly interesting to me and I can’t think of any reason why I’d put in on of my own accord. 1 listen

Expectation: -> By name alone I'm expecting 3-4. After listening: -> For me, this is an easy listen on repeat. What a voice. I've just never taken the time to listen to her music. Glad this forced me to finally do so. Track ranking: Caught Drinkin Can't Keep Away Shoe Devil Everything Saint Tomorrow Really Don't Got and Go Plans Two Worlds

I honestly barely listened to this, but there might not be a genre that is worse for me.

She can sing, but she can't pick a man (apparently).

#374/1001. Will take this note and move on.

Old school country songs about a kissin’, cheatin’, and heartbreak. Loretta’s originals are the best songs on the album, which unfortunately does not hold up well. (1.8*s) She was proud to be a coal miner’s daughter…

Lynn got a good point with the album/track title. I'm sure every woman been through a drunk significant getting feely. A little more upbeat than some of the males country signers from the list. Still it's country and I just don't vibe. 1.15 stars for the hokey honkey tonkey.

Not a country fan but at least this had a tight 28 minute playtime and no songs over 3 minutes. The vocals are pretty good and the minimal backing tracks from various twangy instruments are fine I guess. While the songs go by one by one they all sound very similar and cut from the same cloth. Not the worst album overall but unfortunately its just not easy to care about a 70 year album featuring a bunch of country covers. How is LL 9 albums in and releasing an album with only a couple original tracks? I have no ties to the genre or any of the artists so its all just filler for me. Sweet Loretta sounds talented but I don't personally have to hear any of this ever again. Back to the shelf. 1.04 stars

I wanted it to be great

Loretta is a legend for a reason. Strong album with loads of good tunes. One thing the generator has shown me, if I am going to listen to C&W I'd rather the artist be a woman. Their voices are much better suited for this style of music in my opinion. Loretta should have a few more albums on the list. Short and sweet. Dig it.

I surprisingly enjoyed this a lot. She has a great voice and I like the story telling - although lyrically very dated.

Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind) What’s often great about the 60s country albums is that they don’t often go beyond 30 minutes, and the genre really suits that brevity. This a great example of that, the humorous directness of the lyrics and efficiency of the arrangements and melodies, whether they skip along like the title track or the excellently Elvis-y Get Watcha Got and Got, or whether they wallow in bottom of the bottle balladry like I Really Don’t Want to Know or There Goes Everything or Living in Two Worlds add up to a sharp and succinct album. She really does have a great voice, whether she’s exaggerating the countryness or on I love her vocal on I Really Don’t Want to Know, where she has a lovely tremulousness in the verses before stretching out soulfully. The playing is great too, there’s some great steel of course, but there is some great piano and guitar playing too. It all adds up to a high 3 I think, an easy going and enjoyable listen 🍺🍺🍺 Playlist submission: Get Whatcha Got and Go

In other words, don't expect to go on the lash, come home, and have it off Mr! Which was quite bold in 1966 I imagine, hence the song reaching number 1 on the Billboard. But there is something of a dated novelty value to that, although it retains a bit of cheek even by today's standards. Her other two originals, aside the title track, don't resonate as well - 'I Got Caught' and 'Get Watcha Got and Go' revert to more typical country lyrics, although the latter in particularly has a nice bounce. Aside from a couple penned by Lynn, which is an achievement in itself for the time, the covers are generally benign, unnotable affairs with in well-trodden Nashville formula, with a band that I'd describe as professional. Loretta does have a cracking voice, especially on some of the slower numbers when a touch of velvety grit comes out, such as 'I Really Don't Want to Know'. Overall dated and dull.

Really not my cup of tea. Can appreciate it for what it is and the themes … but man I really dislike country

Actually enjoyed this quite a bit. I really like music like this and seemingly from this era. Would definitely have it on again, but won't come back to it. Something like a 3.5 score

Shrugs. It's fine.

Don’t come home a drinkin, with McLovin on your mind

The music, characteristic of its era, belies the fact that this is lyrically dark material of addiction, infertility, abuse. Really good! And a reminder to watch coal miners daughter.

Classic Country! This is why I joined this list. Education!

Ain't for me, DNF

Probably shouldn’t be in the list - her earlier work perhaps. She is one of the absolute queens of country music, giving a woman’s perspective: just don’t call it feminism. Feisty, vulnerable, hurt, strong. Loretta Lynn.

Might be here because of the hit single, but it is very hard not to love it. Some of the standards are brilliant, There Goes My Everything in particular, it is the A team of Nashville Cats and she's well and truly into her stride by now. I'd think this is her 7th or 8th album. I love that this is early 1967 and she's putting out this incredible country music. Love it.

It's hard to consider now how the shocking the perspective of the title track was when first released. The likes of Alanis Morrisett, Liz Phair, Amy Winehouse, Sabrina Carpenter, Chapelle Roan, or any of the many more frank female singers owe a massive debt to Loretta Lynn's "tell it like it is" honesty. It was a fresh perspective then, and while not as jaw-dropping these days, it is still real and honest. Alas, that honesty revealed the parlous state of Loretta's relationships. She said her music was apolitical, but the personal is always political; her honest and unvarnished accounts of her experiences as a woman obviously struck a chord with many and were not without controversy. Musically, this is classic Nashville country. Her voice is clear, compelling and full of character, much like her friend Patsy Cline (I will never understand why there isn't a Patsy Cline album on this list). I find it oddly formal in a way, but it clips along at a cracking pace and leaves me wanting more every time I get to the end. 3.5 stars, rounding down because she endorsed Donald Trump. Not being very apolitical there, Loretta.

Litt country er ALDRI feil av en eller annen grunn! Veldig koselig musikk til dagen!

2.5 - ok

If country was still like this I would be a big fan.

Not my thing. At least it's a short album at less than 29 minutes

Poor Loretta! If these songs were based on her life experiences, wow! Type of thing my Mum used to listen to. Great voice but musically not for me.

Very cool. Sweet and uncomplicated country beauty I guess. It feels clean. Really great voice for the style. I will return to it.. Probably not loads though

284 Great voice but not a style of music I particularly enjoy. Highlights Saint to a sinner I got caught

Good Stuff. Classic rock precursor.

28 minutes and 28 seconds. 727 albums in, that's a runtime that warms my heart. The music is all fine. It's very classic country, honky-tonk. I guess it's a good representation of a certain kind of music and earns its place on the list on that basis, and I did enjoy its kitsch charms.

Not bad, actually. A bit depressing at times, but nowhere near as bad as some of the dross on this list. One thing that bugs me about this project is the idea of listening to a pretentious vanity project which goes on for 77 minutes. This is only 28 minutes long. It’s inoffensive country pop, sort of like Dolly Parton style. I wouldn’t actively seek it out again, but it’s easily in the top half of albums so far.

Classic country kinda sad but added to mega shuffle

Intensely personal and at the same time relatable, Loretta Lynn was a fantastic lyricist and songwriter, able to simultaneously flip the bird to men trying to hold women down and yet still exist within the confines of country music that wasn’t quite ready for this kind of confessional, confrontational music from a lady. Nowadays it seems quaint, but this was nearly transgressive in the scene at the time. Until Loretta comes along, country music is mostly “stand by your man”. Loretta’s blend of humor and deeply personal, lived experience really sells this album, which alternates between bright and sunny, upbeat 60’s Nashville production and the the twangier cry in your beer downbeat stuff. It’s a tightly written album, 12 songs, 28 minutes, and doesn’t waste a moment of your time. The title track, “Get whatcha got and go”, and “the shoe goes on the other foot tonight” were my favorites- upbeat, catchy, clever, and sassy. Five stars for Loretta. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love a classic country album as much or more as the next person (likely more, considering how many reviews are some form of "I don't listen to country or rap" nonsense) but while each individual song is great on its own listening becomes a bit of a slog through 12 tracks. I'd probably have placed Coal Miner's Daughter over this, maybe Entertainer of the Year, maybe Back to the Country. I'm glad this isn't one of her duet albums with Conway Twitty since I always thought they worked better separately than together. A three? a high three? four sounds off but three isn't quite right either. a three.

Come on man. 2 rap albums out of 145 but somehow this 28 mins “country” album from the 60s makes the list. Never heard of album or band. First song is pretty good but very 50s. She doefinitely has a nice voice there’s no doubt about that. Good piano on I really don’t want to know. These songs make me want to listen to Johnny cash. Nothing unique or special about them unlike on a cash joint. With that being said, tomorrow never comes is fun. Irony is I don’t think it’s supposed to be a fun song. There goes my everything is catchy enough. Shoe is good aside from the piano. Don’t think it works too well. Good songwriting on this one. As I keep listening this album is growing on me. Just a bunch of fun songs which I guess is pretty typical for country. Like “the devil” is a banger. It’s not overly complicated but it’s good music. Can’t keep away from you is more of the same. Well written again. Good piano. Another really really good piano on living in two worlds. Nice switch up with get what cha got. Much faster. Really good guitar on this one. More generic country. Making plans is what I thought the entire album was gonna be. Not really a fan of this one. Really fun guitar on I got caught. This is another banger. Really good songwriting. Really good way to end the album, leaves me wanting more. I prejudged this album and was proven wrong. Great 28 mins of some really fun music. Not life changing, but audibly pleasing. 3/5 stars.

Really good album, I feel like this one is way a very classic-sounding record but, still, one that has such great songs. I've enjoyed a lot listening to this one, very 60's country... a delight, truly a delight. So, I've loved it. So so much. Maybe it's not the most innovative thing I've ever listened to (of course), but it's a very pleasant listening, one that flows really well, also one that is very solid. All the songs are great. So, what else do I have to say? Sometimes it's also very nice to listen to albums like this one. And I certainly find this one a highlight.

Makes sense why this album is on the list, some of the songs don't hold today

Ah, Loretta -- the depths of longing and lust you explore.

Not my cup of tea

14/05/2026 Once again another country album that sounds like all the others. Find me one that doesn't and I may give you the time of day. Spotify listeners: 1.4 million

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Czemu tyle tu country 😭 rzuć tego człowieka kobieto

Enjoyable listen. Wide sound stage.. you could tell it was an early stereo mix. I didn’t connect with the album all that much but I appreciated it. Seemed like it was probably historically significant for a woman to be airing grievances about her deadbeat husband.

Such a pleasant voice. The blueprint of country. Not up my alley but appreciate D.

is what it is

ujdzie chociaz tbh nie chce mi sie tego sluchac, ladny glos ma

This one is confusing for me. It sounds good, her voice is good, and the songs all feel straight from Altman's Nashville or a Coen Brothers movie. That's a lot of boxes checked. But, at the same time, the songs are all really similar and man does she need to work on who she dates.

Solid. Short, sweet, but wouldn’t listen again.

Trad. country that doesn't quite move me. Not bad but really nothing that would separate this from any of the other this style/era country music

#391 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ❌ Nope. None of this yeehaw cuntry shite for me. Weak 1/5, but I don't do "Did-Not-Listens"

Classic country just has a charm to it

swinging

Im living in two words

I will never not give the Nashville A team at least 4 stars.

All I know so far is that this lady has a rocky relationship with her partner. But without diving deeper into it, she keeps on singing along and trying not to dwell too much on the fact that she's living in a deeply unfulfilling relationship. It's ok country music. For me, ok country music is still meh music.

Lynn has a good country voice that doesn't overdo it on the southern drawl. The backings are rather standard country. The title song does stand out for its subject matter and feminist themes in a time where that was rather rare. Even if she didn't ascribe herself to those isms.

I’m not a big country enjoyer, but this was actually a good album. The music was very calm and authentic so that’s really nice. Rating 6/10

Very very country. Good songs very traditional. Not exactly my cup of tea but listenable.

loretta lynn racconta vari momenti di un “amore” tossico, che porta sofferenza e allo stesso tempo pretende (fedeltà, affetto, etc.) e alcuni testi ti fanno empatizzare molto tipo quando dice “i really wander but I don’t want to know” oppure “you are making plans to forget me, I’m getting ready to grieve”. Poi contestualizzando l’album, lei effettivamente ritrae la condizione femminile della classe operaia degli anni 60 (cosa significa essere una moglie, quali sono le reali dinamiche domestiche) e questa era una cosa nuova per il genere country di quegli anni dove le donne cantavano storie più rosee. quindi grande loretta

Yeah, I don't know, some of it is pleasant if a bit twee, didn't seem particularly remarkable to me.

Bizarre…

Nice listen but very old school country

That was so very country, it was the most country you could possibly get in 28 minutes. It wasn't bad though.

Кантри и кантри. Твёрдое и чёткое, нормальная музыка для нормальных.

I am such a sucker for older country like this. Man I really enjoyed this. The vocals, the performances, the simplicity of the songwriting. It really shines. 4/5

Thank you for keeping this nice and brief. Mostly 2-minute country standards that she jangles through with a nice voice and nothing else really remarkable about it. The first song is notable (and the book more or less states it's the sole reason this album is included) as a bit of a dark cautionary tale that remains sadly relevant today by which time men really ought to be doing better. But here we are. Treat yer women nice, boys.

file d'attente d'un ancien train de la mine aaah playlist

Some good memories of listening to Loretta Lynn with my nan. Not a bad album, very listenable, but nothing that stood out for me again. Would happily listen to this, but wouldn't choose to put it on personally.

2.5

4 stars only because of Revelation. If the rest of the album didn't exist and we had an hour of Revelation, consistantly continuing and growing, i would give it a 6.

there's a sturdy timelessness to these songs - you can hear them being sung by Ella Fitzgerald or Carole King, singers who can turn tropes and standards into something wrenching and personal. fortunately, though, and no disrespect to either, they're sung by Loretta Lynn instead! she has a warm, gorgeous voice, that vibrato used to convey both power and vulnerability, often in very close proximity. to trot out a cliche with a lot less finesse, i could listen to her sing the phone book. that's a good thing, because, well. "sturdy timelessness" was the nice way of saying they get a little boring after a while. i'm pretty susceptible to the tropes here, but i understand the impetus for some reviewers to want to shake her by the shoulders and shout at her to just leave that bad guy, and the b-side suffers from overfamiliarity. though at the end of the day, it's hard to stay mad at a voice like that

fun #relisten

hell yeah!!!

This is not it, the whole thing blurs together into a smear of warble

Normalmente me gustá el country pero siento que me gusta mas cantado por hombres (re machirulo). De a ratos me pareció demasiado lento, pero me gustó.

I have always know the Coal Miner’s Daughter but I hadn’t listen to an album. That was my loss until now. She’s a bad ass! Musically, I intrigued that so many of her songs had a blues-based backing. There were some ol’ country western in there too, like Saint to Sinner. Considering it was 1960s country she said I think what a lot of women were thinking but no-one utter in good company. The discussion of elicit affairs—AND those of her partner in I Got Caught was a step back in awe. The Shoe Goes On was a sucker punch toward traditional Christian Southern Values. I can’t think of any other women who were talking about this in the 1960s, and she does so with such confidence. What I also found interesting is a modern producer could take her vocals and add an updated sound and these could still be relevant hits today. I was impressive.

Random thoughts: * Solid old school country album. Some of the first songs were about how much she was hurt getting cheated on and then as the album went along, it showed more of Loretta's harder side. Had more uptempo songs which I enjoyed a bunch: "The Devil Gets His Dues" and "Get Whatcha Got and Go". * By the end, Loretta is just the one getting cheated on, she's doing the cheating too and getting caught. Tables turned! * This probably captures Loretta Lynn but my big complaint is not having "Coal Miners Daughter" on the album chosen. It's the first thing that came to mind when I saw Loretta Lynn. They made a famous movie about it!!! * Also, less egregious was to not have "Your Ain't Woman Enough". You can't have them all but this felt like a real miss by 1001.

As I've mentioned when it's come up before, I really can't stand country music. I mention that not to brag or anything, but do be upfront about my biases. I listened to this all the way through and tried to appreciate, but I couldn't get there. I HATED this album. It just did absolutely nothing for me. I can recognize that Loretta Lynn does have a very good voice for what she does, but what she does leaves me cold. Literally the only thing I was able to appreciate about this album was that it was over in just 28 minutes.

I don’t like country music.

Enormous voice from a strong singer.

Heerlijk country album

I liked the album as it reminded me of being with my parents as they were big fans of country and western music. I preferred Loretta Lynn as a soloist rather than when she started singing with Conway Twitty.

None

Ugh. Man, I don't get country. Respect to LL (the OG LL I suppose).

NOt one of her bests, I reckon

Albums like these do sound pretty nice, but they make me depressed. It's the absence of a little soul and thought that Dolly always provides in her country music of a similar genre. If your man comes home a drinkin with lovin on his mind and you don't want that - leave him! I know it was a different time but idk knowing her extreeeemely right wing views too it's all a bit depressing.

LET'S PRAY REAL QUICK Problematic Dolly Parton slaps ngl, gotta love angry 60s country!!

Love me some steel guitar. Great production and songs. All time country voice. Whatever happened to the 28 minute album?

Same song over and over and over. But a good one.

Loretta Lynn dropped this album off in 1967 in the same year as Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced". The beauty and wonder of American music is how vast the multitudes can be.

Не той настірій мабуть. Під кінець фізично було важко.

Absolute traditional country classic top to bottom. Not a wasted note. Loretta Lynn is not taking any shit. I love that.

love the vibe but this album wasn't for me

I really liked Loretta Lynn’s album she did with Jack White in the 2000s so I’m partial to her voice. This is a perfectly serviceable, quality country album from the late 60s. It’s a 4, I think. I’m tempted to give it 3 because it’s not something I’d listen to all the time - just because of the genre - but if I ever need music to cry into my beer to, I know where it is.

Some good moral stories we could all learn from.

This is not for me.

another humble 30-minute slice of Nashville here, one of those 60s albums that exists mostly as a post-hoc justification for its lead single and title track. with this lead single, though, we're looking at a fairly progressive song! not stylistically, but politically; "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'" is a song against date rape! Loretta Lynn was one of the first women in country music who was famous for writing her own songs, penning three for this album. her covers are good—she's got a wonderful singing voice, which is kind of half the battle with this repertoire—but her originals here are the most notable, all of them acting as staunch counterblasts against the ways women are depicted in male-written country songs. the closer, "I Got Caught", sees her admitting to cheating on her man, but pointing out that he's no better: "Yeah, I got caught, but, honey you're a pro / There's not a thing about cheatin' you don't know." decent 6/10.

Typical Country and Western music.

The music is great, and she has a pretty cool voice (when she’s not overdoing it with the vibrato). Loretta is a bit of a teetotaler, which is ironic because drinking is the perfect context for this kind of music. But I can overlook that, I guess. This isn’t anything I’ll probably ever revisit on purpose, but if it popped up on a jukebox at the bar, I wouldn’t be sad…but I would probably drink too much and then try to take the wife to pound town in honor of Loretta. 7/10

I enjoyed Loretta's voice but the lyrics just made me cringe. If her man goes out drinking he better go find another woman to sleep with because she refuses. But she's heart break because he's cheating on her. But she loves him. But she's going to cheat on him back. It's glorifying this twisted thinking that Trad wives get trapped in where they feel they have to be loyal to their shitty husband while he gets a free pass to do whatever he wants. I guess there's some resolution when she cheats back on him at the end?

miss lynn is swinging a heavy musical frying pan

Mid

I love some 60s country, and Lynn is one of the best. A tight little collection of solid turns.

The melodies hew to the (pleasing) formula, but Loretta Lynn masters and transcends with her wit and clarity, sharp as a knife.

Something about country heartbreak just hits different. I genuinely enjoyed this, the cheatin' and the heartbreak

Loretta Lynn seems like a type of person I know. A strong, opinionated, flawed, sometimes ignorant, sometimes wise, Southern woman who has to advocate for herself because no one has ever advocated for her in her entire life. I often find this type of person annoying but there is also no one better to put your dumbass in your place when you are acting the fool. But then they go and stump for Donald Trump so you kind of have to take the good with the bad. Loretta Lynn was a talented singer and songwriter and the backing band sounds great. They also get in and get out in less than thirty minutes, which I always appreciate about country and soul albums in the vinyl era. This album is worth hearing even if it’s not the kind of thing I want to listen to all that often.

Not for me…

⭐⭐+ Inte dåligt men det blir väldigt mycket samma både musikaliskt och framförallt textmässigt. På rak arm tror jag inte en enda låt inte handlar om otrohet. Rösten är bra och berättandet är detaljerat. Men det blir för mycket old school country för mig, samt för endormigt. Bäst är kanke Titelspåret, The sho goes on the other foot, The devil gets his due och I got cought.

Country altijd geinig. Zou het niet opzetten maar ook niet afzetten

Country again. Fuck this shit. Generated me something interesting

It’s fun to listen to this stuff to appreciate the history of music contextually but it’s a bit of a bore.

Gammel country med Loretta Lynn, en kvinne som har gitt ut over 50 studioalbum. Likevel forholdsvis ukjent for meg. Ikke akkurat noen høydare i det store år 2026. Top 3: Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’, I Got Caught, There Goes My Everything

3.5

Super solid representation of a style of the Nashville Sound. While I like it I am wondering what about this album makes it a must hear over others from its time and genre. "I Really Don't Want To Know" put a smile on my face when I realized I first heard the song on Jason and the Scorchers' "Lost And Found" album, help me Warner!

Nope

The best breakup album of all time?

Yep it’s a country record - not sure how may female artists there were then. The listen was exactly as expected.

Great set of old school country from a female perspective.

I liked it, but it won’t stick with me.

Really not much of a country guy at all but kind of liked this one!
